Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of future occupiers in terms of safety
- the living conditions of occupiers of Chapter Court in terms of use of their private garden
What decided it
The lack of objection from West Midlands Police, combined with the proposed conditions for external lighting and CCTV, outweighed concerns about limited natural surveillance and justified allowing the appeal despite the development not meeting standard privacy distance guidance.
