Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring houses having regard to outlook, daylight, privacy, light spill and noise
What decided it
The family room would be inconspicuous in public views, largely screened by landscaping, and would not cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area or to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers.
The proposal would accord with the development plan overall and there are no material considerations, including the provisions of the Framework, which outweigh the finding that the development would be in keeping with existing development in the vicinity and would not be an unneighbourly form of development.
