Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring residents at Bow Villa, with particular regard to outlook.

What decided it

The proposed second storey would severely curtail the already restricted outlook from the neighbouring Bow Villa window, causing unacceptable harm to living conditions in conflict with Policy QOP 2 and Policy HOU 9.

Plan policies cited: Policy QOP 2, Policy HOU 9
