Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • the living conditions of future occupiers, with particular regard to outlook, light, privacy and provision of outdoor space
  • the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers at Chown Court, with particular regard to privacy

What decided it

The significant harm to the character and appearance of the surrounding area and to the living conditions of future occupiers of Units 2 and 3 was not outweighed by any material considerations.
