Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the installed window on the living conditions of the occupiers of No 13 Lower Alt Road
What decided it
The distance of approximately 10 metres from the disputed window to the boundary fence, which exceeds the Council's SPD guidance of 7 metres, combined with the land levels and the fact that the most private areas of the neighbouring property are not overlooked, means the window would not significantly harm the living conditions of the occupiers of No 13 Lower Alt Road.
