Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of development on the character and appearance of the area
  • the living conditions of the occupiers of the neighbouring properties

What decided it

The significant harm to the privacy and living conditions of the occupiers of No. 1 Torrens Close, caused by increased overlooking and reduced separation distance, outweighed the acceptable design and character considerations.

The acceptable design and character impact was outweighed by the significant harm to neighbouring occupiers' living conditions and privacy, which conflicted with the development plan.
