Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 2 Talgarth Walk, with particular regard to privacy, and the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to outlook
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to a nearby tree
What decided it
The material loss of privacy for occupiers of 2 Talgarth Walk from overlooking by the ground floor opening of the proposed dwelling, combined with unacceptable harm to a prominent tree through proximity and risk of damage, conflicted with development plan policies on living conditions and character and appearance.
