Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with regard to privacy, outlook and daylight
- whether the development would provide acceptable living conditions for the future occupants of the proposed dwelling with regard to privacy
What decided it
The harmful effect on the character and appearance of the surrounding area through the cramped, uncharacteristic siting of the dwelling and removal of a prominent open space, combined with significant adverse impacts on the outlook and daylight of neighbouring occupiers and unacceptable loss of privacy for future occupants, outweighed the principle of development and efficient land use.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- ENV6DM3DM19SOC5DM2
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 12
