Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed pair of semi-detached dwellings upon the character and appearance of the locality
  • The effect of the proposed pair of semi-detached dwellings upon the living conditions of existing and future occupiers of No.50 Fernie Fields and 'Conifers,' with particular regard to privacy, access to light, and outlook
  • The effect of the proposed pair of semi-detached dwellings upon biodiversity and green infrastructure

What decided it

The proposed semi-detached dwellings would be incongruous in this backland location due to their height, scale, massing and design, and would cause significant adverse impacts to the living conditions of the neighbouring property 'The Conifers' through loss of privacy, contrary to Policies CP9, DM35 and DM34.
