Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring dwellings with particular regard to noise and odour, and whether or not it would be overbearing to the occupiers of 29 Clarendon Gardens
What decided it
The outbuilding's position immediately behind an existing structure, combined with the disproportionate combined bulk of outbuildings and the uncertain noise and odour impacts of the proposed workshop use, caused unacceptable harm to both character and neighbouring living conditions.
No balancing exercise was undertaken; the proposal was found to conflict with the development plan with no material considerations indicating a decision contrary to the plan should be reached.
