Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Low Fell Conservation Area
- The living conditions of occupiers of existing properties, with particular regard to outlook and privacy of garden areas to the northeast and southeast of plot 2
What decided it
The proposal would fail to preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Low Fell Conservation Area and would result in harm to living conditions through an overbearing relationship and overlooking of adjacent land, with insufficient public benefits to outweigh this harm.
