Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 64 and 66 Montrose Avenue, and 33, 35 and 37 St Andrews Road, with particular regard to outlook, daylight, sunlight, and privacy
What decided it
The material reduction in scale and repositioning of the proposed dwelling compared to the previously appealed scheme, combined with the Daylight, Sunlight and Overshadowing Assessment and site-specific separation distances, overcame the previous Inspector's concerns and demonstrated that the development would not cause unacceptable harm to neighbouring living conditions.
