Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development upon the character and appearance of the host property and the area
- The effect of the development upon the living conditions of the occupiers of Nos 152 and 156 with regard to outlook
What decided it
The development's disproportionate scale, visual intrusiveness and overbearing effect on neighbouring living conditions, combined with the absence of compelling evidence that dismissal would prevent the family from caring for their disabled child, meant the identified harms could not be outweighed.
The personal circumstances of the family with a disabled child were weighed against the identified harms to character, appearance and neighbouring living conditions, but the harms were not outweighed by those circumstances.
