Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effects of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers at Nos 18 and 20 Lower Millhayes, with particular regard to privacy and outlook

What decided it

The modest scale, domestic appearance and position of the building within the garden curtilage, combined with the sufficient distance from neighbouring properties to prevent overlooking and overbearing effects, meant the proposal complied with the development plan.
