Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal upon the living conditions of the occupiers of No. 15 Haytor Park, with regard to daylight and outlook
  • the effect of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The overbearing impact of the proposed dwelling on the neighbouring property's outlook, daylight and sunlight, which would be substantially greater than the existing building, outweighed the neutral or positive aspects of the scheme.

The neutral finding on character and appearance did not outweigh the harm found in relation to living conditions of neighbours; no material considerations indicated the appeal should be determined other than in accordance with the development plan.
