Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the stability of land with particular regard to the boundary retaining wall extension
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of the neighbouring occupants at 27 Stanegate Avenue with particular regard to overlooking and privacy
What decided it
The development causes unacceptable harm to both land stability due to structural deficiencies in the extended retaining wall and to the living conditions of neighbours through increased overlooking and loss of privacy, neither of which can be adequately mitigated or justified.
