Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed scheme provides an acceptable quality of accommodation
  • Whether the proposal would harm the living conditions of neighbours

What decided it

The unacceptable loss of privacy for neighbouring residents caused by considerable intervisibility between habitable room windows due to the proximity of the proposed extension to the neighbouring residential block.

Plan policies cited: Policy L1 of the Dudley Borough Development Strategy (2017)
