Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The principle of the proposed development with specific regard to its location
  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of future and neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to privacy

What decided it

The proposal fails the infill test under Policy GD4(f) because the site does not occupy a modest gap in an otherwise continuous built-up frontage, and the resulting harms to character and appearance and to neighbouring privacy are unacceptable.
