Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the locality
  • The living conditions of neighbouring residents at 19 Lytham Drive with particular regard to light and outlook

What decided it

The fallback position under the General Permitted Development Order 2015 provided strong justification for allowing the appeal despite the identified harm to character, appearance and neighbouring living conditions, as a similar or potentially worse development could be implemented without planning permission.
