Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the variation of condition No 1 and removal of conditions Nos 5 and 6 on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to privacy
  • the effect of the variation of condition No 1 and removal of conditions Nos 5 and 6 on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The substantial overlooking of neighbouring gardens from the elevated first floor external terrace would have a harmful effect on the living conditions and privacy of neighbouring occupiers that outweighs any other considerations.

Framework references: 130, 120
