Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect that removing condition 4 would have on the living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to privacy

What decided it

The physical constraints of the roof access, limited useable space, and existing condition 3 preventing terrace use made condition 4 unnecessary and unreasonable to protect neighbouring amenity.
