Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with specific regard to outlook and light for occupiers of 7 Fountains Close and privacy for occupiers of 8 Fountains Close
What decided it
The existing relationship between the properties and the particular circumstances of the case meant that despite not meeting SPD guidance on separation distances, the proposal would not result in unacceptable effects on neighbouring living conditions in terms of outlook, light and privacy.
