Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the condition is reasonable and necessary having regard to the living conditions of the occupiers of No 37 Watford Road with regard to privacy

What decided it

The glass balustrade creates a continued perception of being overlooked from the neighbouring property's rear garden and patio, which would be detrimental to privacy and cannot be adequately mitigated by the stainless-steel balustrade and use restrictions alone.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
SADM3SADM30CS22
National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 56

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.
