Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development upon the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring houses, with particular regard to privacy

What decided it

The fallback position of a permitted development patio, combined with existing boundary screening and the site's topography, means the development causes no significant harm to neighbouring privacy that would warrant refusal.
