Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of occupants of surrounding residential properties with regard to outlook and privacy
What decided it
The relatively minor differences from the previously allowed appeal scheme, combined with the rear location of changes and the incorporation of privacy screens, meant the development would not cause unreasonable harm to character and appearance or unacceptable impact on neighbouring living conditions.
