Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the street scene of Sunnyhill Road
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 3 Sunnyhill Road having particular regard to overlooking, and on the living conditions of future occupiers of the proposed dwelling having particular regard to outlook
What decided it
The setback of the proposed dwelling from the main façade of No 1 and its consistency with the established urban character of the area, combined with the ability to condition the overlooking concern through obscure glazing, allowed the appeal on planning merits.
