Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on i) the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area; and ii) the living conditions of the occupiers of 42 and 46 Avondale Road, with particular regard to privacy
What decided it
The proposal preserves visual separation between dwellings and prevents unacceptable loss of privacy to neighbouring gardens through its design and the screening effect of existing vegetation, justifying approval despite the departure from the 1 metre separation distance policy requirement.
