Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect on the living conditions of neighbouring residential occupiers
What decided it
The obscured glazing and limited rearward views from the proposed balcony would not result in overlooking above that reasonably expected in a developed residential area, and therefore would not harm neighbouring living conditions.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy HC1 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan (2021)Paragraph 11.33.11 of the Central Bedfordshire Design Guide (2023)
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.
