Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal upon the living conditions of occupiers of nearby properties and future occupiers of the proposal with particular regard to privacy

What decided it

The relative height difference and oblique angles between the windows of the appeal property and the neighbouring property, combined with the positioning of the nearest clear glazed window at the edge of the field of view, would prevent unacceptable intervisibility and loss of privacy.
