Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the Bardsley-cum-Rigton Conservation Area
  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties and the appeal property with regards to outlook and privacy

What decided it

The proposal's design, scale, massing and siting would preserve the character and appearance of the conservation area and not harm the living conditions of neighbouring or future occupiers, despite not meeting all prescribed separation distances.
