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 the neighbouring property at Abbie House in respect of their outlook
What decided it
The starkly incongruous appearance of the proposed dwelling in its setting, combined with the overbearing impact on the outlook from neighbouring Abbie House, means the development fails to accord with the development plan and there are no material considerations to outweigh this conflict.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy BNE1Policy SD1
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
