Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the disputed condition is reasonable and necessary in the interests of the living conditions of occupiers at No. 3 Lambourne Drive, with particular regard to privacy
What decided it
The condition requiring an obscure screen is neither reasonable nor necessary because the external door, landing space and staircase it was designed to protect against are not present, and the window that replaced them does not result in unacceptable overlooking of the neighbouring property.
