Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect that varying the approved drawings would have on the living conditions of the occupiers of Coach House, with particular regard to outlook

What decided it

The degree of separation between the proposed dwelling on Plot 1 and Coach House, combined with the lower siting of the proposed dwelling, meant that although the proposal would result in a taller building and some additional overshadowing, it would not cause harm to the living conditions of neighbouring residents.
