Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • whether the proposed development would provide satisfactory living conditions for the future occupiers, with reference to outlook and external amenity space

What decided it

The proposed dwelling's cramped appearance and bulky eaves height would harm the character and appearance of the surrounding area, conflicting with development plan policies despite providing satisfactory living conditions.

Plan policies cited: Policy D3, Policy D4, Policy D6, Policy CS01, Policy CS06, Policy H6, Policy H7, Policy H8
