Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The impact on the living conditions of the occupiers of the adjacent dwelling, with reference to privacy

What decided it

The existing fence and shed provide adequate screening such that the window does not result in intrusive overlooking or loss of privacy for the neighbouring property, making the obscure glazing condition unnecessary.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy DE1
National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 57

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.
