Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the raised timber platform on the living conditions of the occupiers of No 62 Chantrey Road, having particular regard to overlooking and loss of privacy

What decided it

The raised platform does not present materially increased opportunities for overlooking compared with the previous use of the garden area, and its shallow depth indicates it was designed for access rather than as a sitting area where people might linger.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy H14 of the Unitary Development PlanGuideline 6 of the Council's SPG on Designing House Extensions
National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 135

How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
