Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area and the living conditions of adjoining occupiers with particular regard to outlook and overshadowing to the occupiers of 30 Ickleton Road
- whether the appellant provided adequate information in relation to parking and drainage details
What decided it
The proposed development would represent a substantial building that would dominate the host property and its garden area, eroding the open and spacious qualities of the area and resulting in harm to residential character and appearance contrary to the development plan.
No material considerations of such weight as to indicate a decision other than in accordance with the development plan, which was against the proposal.
