Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effects of the structure forming a timber seating area upon the living conditions of occupiers of nearby residential properties, with particular regard to noise and disturbance, and outlook
- The effects of the structure forming a timber seating area upon the character and appearance of the appeal property
What decided it
The structure's proximity to the neighbouring boundary and lightweight construction would facilitate noise and disturbance harmful to neighbouring living conditions, and its cumulative visual impact with other garden structures created a crude and unattractive appearance contrary to local plan policies.
