Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of future occupiers of unit two, with particular regard to outlook
  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with respect to outlook

What decided it

The proposal would erode the sense of spaciousness and verdant character of the site in conflict with the character and appearance of the area, and this harm outweighed the benefits associated with the proposal.
