- Megginson C
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 the occupiers of the neighbouring properties at 55 The Lane and 19a The Valley, with particular regard to privacy
What decided it
The proposal would cause unacceptable harm to both the character and appearance of the area and the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through overlooking and loss of privacy, conflicting with the development plan with no material considerations of sufficient weight to justify approval.
