Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the breach of planning control on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the breach of planning control on the living conditions of occupiers of the appeal site, with particular regard to privacy

What decided it

The moderate harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by the excessive height and poor design of the structures, which outweighs the modest privacy benefits to the occupiers.
