Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • whether the proposed development would provide adequate living conditions for existing and future occupiers of the accommodation with specific regard to private garden space and privacy

What decided it

The substantial loss of private garden space to both existing and future occupiers, combined with the harm to character and appearance from extensive hardstanding and hedge removal, outweighed any benefits of the development.
