Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the appeal site and surrounding area
  • The effect of the proposed development upon the living conditions of the occupiers of 23 Georgewood Road, with particular regard to privacy

What decided it

The proposed development would be incongruous with the character and appearance of the surrounding area and would result in an unacceptable loss of privacy to neighbouring occupiers, conflicting with the development plan and NPPF requirements.

The development plan conflicts were not outweighed by any material considerations, including the fallback position or the absence of neighbour objections.

What the Inspector cited
