Why it was refused
- The external stairs and landing area, even where the area would be reduced and smaller with the installation of glass screens around the external door, would provide a height vantage over the garden at the adjacent property at 213 Ash Bank and a line of sight toward first floor bedroom windows. Residents stood on, or using, the external stairs and landing would have an overt and direct view of the neighbour when they are making use of the garden below. The neighbour would continue to suffer from the actuality, the perception, and the anticipation of being overlooked. The development, therefore, has an unacceptable impact on the privacy of the adjacent neighbour and their enjoyment of the outdoor amenity. There is conflict with policy DC1 of the SMDC Local Plan and the terms of the NPPF in these regards.
From the council's decision notice.
