Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The nature and extent of the privacy screens necessary to protect the privacy of the bedrooms of No 12 Grand Parade
What decided it
The original condition was unnecessarily prescriptive in specifying obscurity level 3 or above when alternative screen types could equally protect the privacy of the neighbouring bedrooms, and the condition lacked sufficient precision in defining the extent of screening required.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy DM6.2
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.
