Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupants of 4 Halsford Park Road, with particular regard to privacy

What decided it

The imposition of conditions requiring obscure glazing and preventing roof terrace use would effectively mitigate the potential for overlooking and loss of privacy to the neighbouring property, allowing the development to proceed without harm to neighbour living conditions.
