Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of future occupiers in relation to outlook and the living conditions of the occupiers of the neighbouring dwellings in relation to noise and disturbance
- the effect of the proposed development on highway safety
What decided it
The proposed backland development would harm the character and appearance of the surrounding area by appearing incongruous and contrasting with the linear grain of development, and this harm was not outweighed by other material considerations.
The spatial and visual harm to the character and appearance of the area was not outweighed by the appellant's personal circumstances or precedent arguments.
