Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the location of the development is acceptable with regard to the local development strategy
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of the property, with particular reference to the size and configuration of the outdoor amenity space
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by the prominent non-residential use, extensions and roof alterations, combined with the unacceptable reduction in outdoor amenity space below functional standards for the locality, outweighed the neutral finding on location acceptability.
