Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed garage and studio outbuilding on the character and appearance of the site and its surroundings, including the setting of the Grade II listed building, known as Elm Cottage.
- The effect of the proposed garage and studio outbuilding on the living conditions of the occupiers of Blossom House, with specific regard to sunlight within and outlook from its garden.
What decided it
The proposed outbuilding would be sensitively designed and sited to preserve the setting of the Grade II listed building and would not harmfully affect the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers.
