Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
  • the living conditions of the occupants of neighbouring residential properties, with particular regard to outlook
  • ecology and biodiversity in the area, in particular the Woolston Eyes Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI)

What decided it

The portacabin causes significant harm to both the character and appearance of the area and the living conditions of neighbouring occupants through overbearing impact on outlook, which cannot be justified.
