- the effect of the development on the living conditions of occupants of 114 Palatine Road in relation to privacy
What decided it
The Inspector concluded that the development would not cause harm to the character and appearance of the conservation areas or to the privacy of neighbouring occupants, so the scheme complied with the relevant development plan policies.
