Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area, including the Thorne Road Conservation Area
- the living conditions of the occupiers of 4 Rectory Gardens with particular regard to privacy
What decided it
The lack of adequate information regarding boundary treatments and their potential visual harm to the conservation area, combined with the harmful loss of privacy to the neighbouring property from the proposed first floor window, meant the proposal failed to comply with development plan policy and statutory conservation area duties.
Plan policies cited: Policy 37 of the Doncaster Local Plan (2021), Policy 44 of the Doncaster Local Plan (2021)
