Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the scheme would provide appropriate living conditions for the occupants of the proposed first floor flat, with regard to the quantity and quality of outdoor space; and the effect of the proposal on adjacent occupiers' living conditions, with particular regard to overlooking
What decided it
The proposed balcony with privacy screens would provide appropriate living conditions for the first floor flat occupants while preventing significant overlooking of neighbouring properties, thereby satisfying the main issue regarding outdoor space quality and impact on adjacent occupiers.
