Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers at No 3 Dorset Way, with regard to light and outlook
What decided it
The development as built, despite deviations from the approved plans, achieves the policy aims of visual separation and does not result in adverse effects on character, appearance or neighbouring living conditions that would render the scheme unacceptable.
The minor deviations from the approved plans and the resulting proximity to the boundary are outweighed by the maintenance of visual separation, proportionate design, and absence of material harm to neighbouring amenity.
