Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • the living conditions of occupiers of the host property with specific regard to their outlook, overshadowing and loss of light

What decided it

The outbuilding's prominence and incongruity within the street-scene, combined with unacceptable harm to the living conditions of the host property occupiers, conflicted with the development plan with no material considerations to override this.
