Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the obscure glazing required by the disputed Conditions 2 and 6 before first occupation of the approved rear extension is necessary to prevent overlooking from the first floor, such as to cause unacceptable loss of privacy at the neighbouring dwelling, No1 Hayslan Road
What decided it
The existing intervening outbuildings provide sufficient screening to prevent unacceptable loss of privacy in present circumstances, and the likelihood of their removal in the foreseeable future is low.
