Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development upon the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with specific regard to privacy and on the effect of the development upon the living conditions of the occupiers of the appeal building, with specific regard to outlook and light
  • the effect of the development upon the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The development would cause unacceptable harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers regarding privacy, and any mitigation through full obscure glazing would in turn cause unacceptable harm to the living conditions of future occupiers regarding outlook.
