Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to outlook, noise and disturbance
  • whether sufficient information is available to assess the impact of the proposed development on trees

What decided it

The proposal would significantly harm the character and appearance of the area through introducing an incongruous backland dwelling out of keeping with the prevailing spacious low-density pattern, and insufficient arboricultural information prevented assessment of impacts on mature trees fundamental to the access.
