Planning appeal decision

Dismissed29 May 20266003904

15 Dalton Street, London, SE27 9HS

erection of a side extension to provide a cycle store for both residential and commercial use. Alterations to the access arrangement for the upper -floor flats, including the installation of a new external metal staircase and the creation of a new upper -level entrance doorway and Perforated metal panels are proposed to provide privacy screening and to prevent overlooking into neighbouring properties, particularly towards the opposite windows. The design maintains adequate daylight and ventilation while ensuring visual privacy for both occupants and neighbours

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers at no.16, with particular regard to outlook, and noise and disturbance
  • whether future occupiers of the first floor accommodation at no.15 would have satisfactory living conditions, with particular regard to privacy, and noise and disturbance

What decided it

The proposed development would cause unacceptable harm to the living conditions of both neighbouring occupiers at no.16 (through outlook and noise effects) and future occupiers at no.15 (through privacy and noise effects), contrary to Policy Q2 of the development plan.
