Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the appeal proposal upon the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area
- the living conditions of neighbours, with specific reference to outlook
What decided it
The proposal would cause harm to both the character and appearance of the area and the living conditions of neighbours through loss of outlook, conflicting with the development plan and outweighing any personal or wellbeing benefits to the appellant.
The personal health and wellbeing benefits of access to outside space did not outweigh the harm to character and appearance and neighbours' living conditions.
