Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the condition is necessary in order to protect the living conditions of the occupiers of Number 4 Parsonage Road and Number 86 Harvest Road, with regard to privacy
What decided it
The relative positions of the north-facing windows to Number 4's rear garden, combined with the elevated vantage points and short distances involved, would create significant overlooking and loss of privacy without obscured glazing, whereas the south-facing windows would not materially increase overlooking of Number 86.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy EE1
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 135
