Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of the occupants of the neighbouring residential properties on Lafflands Lane and privacy of users of the adjacent public open space
What decided it
The considerable distance of approximately 20 metres across a road between the decked area and neighbouring properties on Lafflands Lane, combined with the small scale appearance of the development within its wider street context, meant that neither character and appearance nor living conditions and privacy were unacceptably harmed.
Plan policies cited: Policy CS10 of the Wakefield Local Development Framework Core Strategy (2009), Policy D9 of the Wakefield Local Development Framework Development Policies (2009)
