Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- Living conditions for nearby residents, with particular regard to noise disturbance, loss of privacy, and whether or not the development would be overbearing
- Protected and retained trees, including whether or not sufficient replacement trees could be provided
What decided it
The siting of the proposed classroom block would be harmful to the character and appearance of the area and to neighbours' living conditions, conflicting with the development plan with no material considerations to indicate otherwise.
