Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers at 42 and 46 Windsor Road, with particular regard to privacy

What decided it

The imposition of conditions requiring obscured glazing and opening restrictors to prevent overlooking, combined with the retention of the modest single-storey front projection, allowed the appeal to proceed without unacceptable harm to character, appearance, or neighbouring privacy.

Framework references: 12

Plan policies cited: Policy HE2 of the Christchurch and East Dorset Local Plan, Part 1 Core Strategy (2014), Policy H12 of the Borough of Christchurch Local Plan (2001)
