Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the amendments on the living conditions of the occupiers of number 35A St Catherine's Road, with particular regard to overbearing impact, loss of light, noise and disturbance
What decided it
The combination of the harmful overbearing impact of the brick privacy wall on outlook and the significant noise and disturbance potential from the large roof terrace in close proximity to the neighbouring property's primary living spaces and terrace.
