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 the occupiers of neighbouring dwellings, with regard to privacy, outlook and disturbance
  • whether the proposed development would provide satisfactory living conditions for its occupiers, with regard to accommodation standards and privacy

What decided it

The proposed development, being modest in size with high-quality design and ancillary use to the main dwelling, would not harm character and appearance or neighbouring living conditions, and would provide satisfactory living conditions for its occupiers.
