Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- The living conditions of the residents of 9 and 11 Beechwood Drive and 9 Ash Close with particular regard to outlook
What decided it
The substantial separation distances between the proposed dwelling and neighbouring properties, combined with its appropriate scale and design relative to the established character of the area, meant that neither character and appearance nor living conditions would be unacceptably harmed.
