Re: Re: Planning Permission for Roof Terraces

Not to mention daft; no wonder planning gets such a bad name. Since when did ‘overlooking’ actually have anything to do with looking?! The concept implies overSHADOWING, i.e. the bulk of one building overwhelming another – apart from observing a minimum distance between buildings it’s hard to see that the concept has any meaning at all. It’s equivalent to ‘I have a right to a view’. It’s about time the planning system got a bit more real.
