Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the clear glazed side window in the recently built side extension at No. 16 Keymer Crescent on the living conditions for the occupiers of No. 18, with particular reference to overlooking and privacy
What decided it
The perception of overlooking and loss of privacy arising from the clear glazed window's visibility, size, orientation and proximity to the neighbour's modest garden, combined with the principle that obscure glazing conditions on flank windows are invariably imposed to protect against future changes to boundary treatments.
