Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed variation of condition 2 would be acceptable, having regard to the effect on the character and appearance of the area, including the setting of the High Beeches Conservation Area
- Whether the proposed variation of condition 2 would be acceptable, having regard to the effect on living conditions within neighbouring properties, with particular regard to privacy and outlook
What decided it
The proposed design variations would preserve the approved hipped roof design approach and remain consistent with the appearance of the development as a whole, while the additional roof-level windows would not materially increase privacy concerns beyond the already-approved first floor windows.
