Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the outbuilding on the character and appearance of the area and whether it constitutes good design
- The effect of the outbuilding on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties in respect of outlook and privacy
What decided it
The outbuilding's bulky scale, height and dominant appearance cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the area and material harm to neighbouring occupiers' living conditions in respect of outlook and privacy, conflicting with the development plan with no material considerations to outweigh this.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- BAS BE12
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 126Paragraph 130
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
