Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect on the living conditions of the occupiers of the adjacent property with regard to overlooking and whether the fencing would appear overbearing
What decided it
The geometry and height of the proposed boundary fence (minimum 1.85m) combined with the stepped design would prevent undue overlooking of the neighbouring property by directing views upwards rather than into the adjacent garden, thereby protecting the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers.
