Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • the living conditions of neighbouring occupants, with respect to overlooking and loss of privacy

What decided it

The proposal would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the area through uncharacteristic backland development that would erode the sense of openness and verdant character of the rear gardens, resulting in conflict with the development plan that outweighed the limited benefits of an additional dwelling.
