Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 30 Chesholm Road with particular regard to privacy.
What decided it
The position of the replacement staircase and platform close to the shared boundary would afford users elevated views into the neighbouring property's rear garden, causing unacceptable harm to privacy that cannot be adequately mitigated by conditions or screening.
