Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • whether the proposal would result in satisfactory living conditions for the occupiers of the development and Nos 5 and 7 Well Lane, with particular regard to privacy and outlook

What decided it

The proposal would harm the character and appearance of the area and result in unacceptable loss of privacy to neighbouring properties, conflicting with the development plan with no material considerations to outweigh this.
