  • The effect of the breach of planning control on the living conditions of neighbouring residents, with particular regard to the privacy of residents at 18 and 23 Starrs Mead and the outlook of residents at 18 Starrs Mead
  • The effect of the breach of planning control on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The unacceptable impact on the privacy of neighbouring residents at 18 and 23 Starrs Mead through increased opportunities for overlooking, which cannot be adequately mitigated and conflicts with development plan policies.
