Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring properties with regard to overlooking, overbearing and overshadowing

What decided it

The combination of separation distances exceeding the Council's minimum standard, existing and enhanced boundary planting, revised dwelling scale and design, and the 1.8-metre close-boarded timber fence with trellis sufficiently mitigated the potential for overlooking, overbearing and overshadowing impacts on neighbouring properties.
