Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect that removing the condition would have on the living conditions of the occupiers of 52 Lime Avenue, with particular regard to privacy
What decided it
The balcony's position set in from the eastern boundary, combined with the width of the host garden and mature border planting, means the extent of overlooking would not be so great as to restrict reasonable use of the neighbouring garden or have a significant adverse effect on privacy.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy DM9 of the Surrey Heath Core Strategy and Development Management Policies 2012Principle 8.1 of the Surrey Heath Residential Design Guide Supplementary Planning Document 2017
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
