Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with regard to privacy

What decided it

The unauthorised first floor bedroom window creates material loss of privacy to the neighbouring property's main living space (lounge) through overlooking at less than 10m separation, which cannot be mitigated by the dividing fence and conflicts with development plan policy.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy L7 of the Trafford Local Plan Core Strategy (2012)SPD4: A Guide to House Extensions and Alterations (2012)

How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
