Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of occupants of nearby dwellings with particular regard to privacy
- Whether the development preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the Mare Street Conservation Area
- Whether the development provides suitable access
What decided it
The decking creates significant overlooking and loss of privacy for neighbouring dwellings from an elevated position, materially harms the conservation area's character through poor design quality, and provides unsafe access arrangements, with no public benefits to justify these harms.
