Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect that varying condition 2 and 4 would have on the living conditions of the occupiers of Flat 7, with particular regards to privacy
  • whether varying condition 3 would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Nether Edge Conservation Area

What decided it

The removal of condition 4 requiring obscure glazing on the rear window allowed the appeal, as the clear-glazed window does not result in significant overlooking due to its oblique angle toward the neighbouring terrace.
