Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • whether there would be adequate living conditions for future occupiers of the development, having regard to outlook, privacy, daylight and sunlight levels
  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of the neighbouring dwellings, with regard to outlook

What decided it

The proposed development would harm the character and appearance of the surrounding area by appearing as an incongruous backland feature and would fail to provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers due to overlooking, privacy loss, and restricted outlook.
