Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect on (a) the character and appearance of the host property and its surroundings and (b) the living conditions of the occupiers of the neighbouring property, no. 35 Heather Avenue

What decided it

The unacceptable overbearing impact of the high boundary wall on the living conditions and garden enjoyment of the occupiers of the neighbouring property at no. 35 Heather Avenue outweighed the significant benefit of providing accommodation for a disabled person.

The significant benefit of providing accommodation for a disabled person was outweighed by the unacceptable harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through overbearing impact on their garden area and outlook.
