Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 8 New Writtle Street, with particular regard to outlook

What decided it

The proposed development would have an overbearing effect on the outlook from the neighbouring kitchen window and dominate the garden of 8 New Writtle Street, thereby harming the living conditions of its occupiers in breach of Policy DM29 and the Framework.
