Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupants of 14, 24 and 26 Highlands Avenue, with regard to privacy, outlook and noise and disturbance
  • the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The proposal would result in a significant increase in the perception of being overlooked from neighbouring rear gardens, particularly at Nos 24 and 26, which the obscure glazed screens would not adequately mitigate.
