Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effects of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of Hafod Wynne, with regard to outlook and privacy
  • The effects of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, with specific regard to the setting of the Pant Glas and Brogyntyn and Oswestry Conservation Areas

What decided it

The unacceptable harm to the outlook of occupiers at Hafod Wynne caused by the proposal's height, depth and proximity to the boundary, combined with the unreliability of the boundary hedge as a permanent screen, which conflicts with development plan policies protecting living conditions.
