Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character of the area
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of occupants of neighbouring properties, with regard to privacy and noise and disturbance
- Whether the development provides satisfactory living conditions for occupant(s) of the outbuilding, with regard to the quality and standard of accommodation, provision of external amenity space and privacy
What decided it
The development causes substantial cumulative harm to the character of the area and the living conditions of both neighbouring occupants and the outbuilding occupant, with no material considerations of sufficient weight to justify a decision contrary to the development plan.
