Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effects of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the appeal site and its surroundings
- the living conditions of the occupants of 231 Scar Lane with regard to outlook, light and privacy
What decided it
The proposed development would conflict with the development plan on two grounds—harm to character and appearance through lack of subservience and incongruous roof form, and unacceptable harm to the privacy of neighbouring occupants through the elevated rear decking—with no material considerations to outweigh these conflicts.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy LP24 a.Policy LP24 b.Policy LP24 c.
