Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on visual amenity
  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of occupiers of Sea Breezes on Tamarisk Walk, with particular regard to privacy

What decided it

The imposition of a condition requiring obscure glazing and restricted opening to the west-facing window adequately mitigated the potential for harmful overlooking and surveillance of the neighbouring property, allowing the appeal to be allowed.
