Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development upon the living conditions of the occupiers of 6 Ryestone Drive and 1, 1a and 2 Stones Bank with regard to a loss of privacy of gardens
- The character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The development materially worsened privacy for neighbouring occupiers through elevated overlooking of their gardens and rear terraces, particularly for 6 Ryestone Drive, which constitutes an adverse and unacceptable impact contrary to Policy BT2 of the Calderdale Local Plan.
