Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • whether appropriate living conditions would be provided for the future occupiers, with particular reference to garden size
  • the effect of the development upon the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties, with particular reference to light outlook and privacy
  • the effect of the development on highway safety

What decided it

The proposed development conflicts with the development plan on multiple grounds—character and appearance, living conditions of future and neighbouring occupiers, and highway safety—with no material considerations indicating the decision should be made otherwise.
