Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposals would provide adequate living conditions for future occupants with regards to privacy, outlook, and light
- The effect of the proposals on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposed dwelling would not provide adequate living conditions for future occupants due to severe overlooking and loss of privacy in the courtyard amenity space, combined with inadequate natural light and poor outlook if privacy measures were deployed.
