Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of the neighbouring property at No. 9 Wolsey Road, with particular reference to privacy and outlook

What decided it

The development's significant height and proximity to the common boundary with No. 9 erodes the neighbouring occupiers' privacy and outlook, causing material harm to their living conditions contrary to the development plan.
