Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

What decided it
The roof terrace as constructed permits overlooking of adjoining properties and creates a perception of overbearing that cannot be adequately mitigated by the proposed screening, causing significant harm to the living conditions of neighbouring users contrary to Policy DM9.
