Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupants, with regard to outlook
What decided it
The proposed development would cause harm to the character and appearance of the area through its increased height and incongruous mono-pitched roof design, which would be visually intrusive and out of keeping with the prevailing character of outbuildings in the area.
