Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

What decided it
The proposed development would not cause unacceptable harm to the privacy of neighbouring occupiers at Dovecote Cottage due to the geometric relationship between the new window and the neighbouring rooflights, and therefore accords with development plan policies protecting amenity.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy P10 of the Core Strategy (Review 2019)Policy GP5 of the Leeds Unitary Development Plan (Review 2006)Policy HDG2 of the Householder Design Guide Supplementary Planning Document (2012)
