Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the disputed condition is relevant to the development and whether it is reasonable and necessary in the interests of protecting the living conditions of local residents and preserving and enhancing the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The terracing development itself did not cause harm to neighbouring privacy; the loss of screening resulted from removal of existing vegetation, not the development, therefore the condition was not necessary.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy D1 - Design and Local DistinctivenessPolicy D2 - Landscape Requirements
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.
