Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the living conditions of occupiers at 61 Summervale Road and 65 Summervale Road with particular regard to outlook, light and privacy

What decided it

The privacy screens, subject to a condition securing precise details of their composition and implementation, would effectively mitigate overlooking whilst the extension's modest scale, limited depth and positioning away from boundaries would ensure no material adverse effect on neighbouring outlook, light or privacy.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
BDP1BDP19

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.
