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 occupiers of No 35 Yew Tree Bottom Road and Nos 14 and 18 Downs Wood, with particular regard to outlook, sunlight, noise and disturbance
What decided it
The revised scheme successfully addressed the criticisms of the previous appeal decision through material changes to dwelling design, spacing, and layout, resulting in a development that would not cause unacceptable harm to character and appearance or neighbouring living conditions.
