Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupants of nearby residential properties, with regard to noise and disturbance from traffic
What decided it
The significantly reduced scale of the current proposal compared to the previously dismissed scheme, combined with the absence of a new access and the subservient appearance of the extension, meant that the development would not have the same harsh and conspicuous impact on the urban fringe location and would not erode landscape character to a harmful extent.
