Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the eastern facing roof window in the rear extension on the amenity of occupiers of both the appeal property and the adjacent property, with regards to privacy, overlooking and noise

What decided it

The close spatial relationship between the rooflight and the adjacent property's windows creates an unacceptable risk of privacy harm and noise nuisance that can only be adequately controlled by requiring the rooflight to be both obscure glazed and permanently fixed shut.

National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 57Paragraph 135
