Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the condition is reasonable or necessary in the interests of the living conditions of the occupiers of 8 Aylesbury Road, with particular reference to privacy
What decided it
The direct overlooking of the neighbouring patio area at short distance would result in unacceptable harm to privacy that cannot be adequately mitigated without the obscure glazing condition.
