Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 6 Church Way with particular reference to privacy

What decided it

The proposal would not have a significant harmful effect on the privacy of the adjoining occupants because the most sensitive areas would remain largely private and the additional overlooking would be comparable to existing views and mutual overlooking already present in the area.
