Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 14 Barfield Avenue, with particular regard to outlook, light and privacy
  • the character and appearance of the host property and area

What decided it

The harmful loss of privacy to occupiers of the neighbouring property at 14 Barfield Avenue resulting from direct views from the elevated patio above the boundary fence was the decisive factor in dismissing the appeal.
