- whether refuse storage arrangements adequately cater for the development
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The overlooking from the first floor bedroom window to plot 1 would result in unacceptable loss of privacy to the neighbouring occupants at 300 Herne Road, combined with the absence of a planning obligation to secure waste and recycling provision.
