Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers at St. Petroc, Swakeleys and No.7 Lentney Close with particular regard to outlook, and on the neighbouring occupiers at No.7 Lentney Close with particular regard to privacy
  • the character and appearance of the host dwelling and wider area, including whether the proposal conserves and enhances the landscape and scenic beauty of the South Devon National Landscape and character and appearance of the Undeveloped Coast with particular regard to light emissions

What decided it

The harmful level of overlooking from the proposed first floor windows into the most private areas of No.7 Lentney Close, which would not be adequately mitigated by boundary planting and conflicts with development plan policy on living conditions.

Framework references: 189, 191

Plan policies cited: Policy DEV1, Policy DEV2.4, Policy DEV20, Policy DEV23, Policy DEV24, Policy DEV25, Policy TTV29.5
