Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effects of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • the living conditions of the occupiers of adjoining properties in Chittock Mead with particular regard to outlook

What decided it

The material differences between the current proposal and the previously dismissed application, combined with the comparable height and siting distance of the new outbuilding and the adequate separation provided by neighbouring gardens, justified allowing the appeal.
