Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the site and the wider area
- The living conditions of occupiers of the host property, with particular regard to garden provision
- The living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to outlook
What decided it
The substantial size of the outbuilding would disproportionately reduce the garden space and fail to provide adequate, fit-for-purpose living conditions for the host property's occupiers, conflicting with development plan policies on character, appearance and amenity.
The harm caused to the character and appearance of the appeal site and the living conditions of occupiers of the host property was not outweighed by the absence of harm to neighbouring occupiers' outlook.
