Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether as a matter of fact the appellant has constructed the two outbuildings identified in the notice (ground (b))
- Whether the construction of those two outbuildings constitutes a breach of planning control (ground (c))
- The effect on the character and appearance of the host property and Gatehill Farm Estate Northwood Area of Special Local Character (ground (a))
- The effect on the living conditions of neighbouring residents at 15 Woodgate Crescent, with particular regard to outlook, light and privacy (ground (a))
What decided it
The outbuildings, being single-storey, rear-positioned, screened from public view and proportionate to the host property, do not harm character and appearance or neighbouring living conditions, and therefore planning permission can be granted on the deemed application under ground (a).
