Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area
  • the effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of No 289a Garstang Road with regard to overlooking and privacy

What decided it

The development would significantly harm the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area by creating an overly large, bulky and unsympathetic appearance that breaches the Council's supplementary planning guidance.

The modest economic benefits did not outweigh the significant harm to character and appearance.
