Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposed dwelling would comply with relevant local policies with regard to refuse collection
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
- whether the development would comply with relevant local policies with regard to the supply of 'prestigious' homes
What decided it
The proposal would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area through its incongruous backland location and would fail to provide adequate refuse collection access in breach of local plan policies.
