Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupants of 8 and 9 Lay Garth Close, with respect to outlook, light, sense of enclosure and privacy
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including the setting of the Rothwell Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposal would cause significant harm to neighbouring living conditions and the character and appearance of the area, conflicting with the development plan, and the limited private benefits could not justify a decision other than in accordance with the plan.
