02
The proposed new windows along the northern elevation are considered to materially increase overlooking to the adjacent rear garden of the property to the north at no. 27 Rawmarsh Hill. This is considered to conflict with the general guidance of the NPPF at paragraph 131 along with Local Plan Policy SP55 ‘Design Principles’.
