Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of the neighbouring properties at No.4 Ambrose Way, with particular regard to outlook, and No.4 Mill Lane, with particular regard to privacy

What decided it

The imposition of a condition requiring obscure glazing to the ensuite window, combined with the maintenance of adequate separation distances and the high-density residential context, ensured that the proposal would not result in harmful effects on the living conditions of neighbouring occupants.
