Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect that varying conditions 1 and 2 and removing conditions 4 and 9 would have on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with regard to privacy and noise and disturbance

What decided it

The balustrades and timber wall were found to be unnecessary for preventing overlooking given the site's topography, screening, and the limited views from the roof terrace and staircase, and condition 9 was disproportionate as other dwellings are not subject to similar restrictions on external music.
