Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the condition is reasonable and necessary in the interests of protecting the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers
What decided it
The high-level windows are positioned above eye level (sill height approximately 2 metres) and therefore do not result in any direct overlooking of neighbouring properties, making the obscure glazing requirement neither necessary nor reasonable.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- CS16
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 130
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
