Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the existing dwelling and on the local area
- The effect of the proposal, and in particular the proposed rear terrace on the living conditions of the immediate neighbours, including at No 2 Bennett Drive, with particular regard to overlooking and loss of privacy
What decided it
The imposition of a condition requiring privacy screens of minimum 1.8m height with approved materials would adequately protect the living conditions of immediate neighbours with regard to overlooking and loss of privacy, allowing the appeal to proceed.
