Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring properties with particular regard to privacy, noise and odours
  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of future occupiers with particular regard to indoor living space and outside amenity space

What decided it

The proposal would result in unacceptable loss of privacy to neighbouring occupiers through direct and intrusive overlooking from the roof space serving the rear flats, which would conflict with development plan policies safeguarding residential amenity.

Framework references: 55, 209

Plan policies cited: Policy CS6 of the Shropshire Core Strategy (2011), Policy MD2 of the Shropshire Council Site Allocations and Management of Development Plan (2015)
