Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the obscure glazing to the Juliet balcony screen is reasonable and necessary to protect the living conditions of the occupants of 7-9 Eastholm Lawns and 2 Parton Drive, with regard to privacy.

What decided it

The full height bedroom window would not result in unacceptable overlooking of neighbouring properties due to oblique angles, intervening distances, and physical screening, making the obscure glazing condition unreasonable and unnecessary.

Policy RES10Policy SD14
