Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of occupiers at 16 South Street with particular regard to privacy and at 15 South Street with particular regard to privacy and outlook
What decided it
The imposition of a condition requiring obscure glazing and restricted opening to the first-floor window, combined with the extension's modest scale and distance from neighbouring openings, would adequately mitigate any harm to privacy and outlook.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy ESD 15 (The Character of the Built and Historic Environment) of The Cherwell Local Plan Part 1 (2015)retained Policy C30 of the Cherwell Local Plan (1996)
