Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of future occupiers with regard to privacy and provision of private amenity space
What decided it
The combined adverse effects on character and appearance through the cramped linear layout and incongruous boundary features, together with undue overlooking of Plot 2 due to insufficient separation distances, meant the proposal failed to accord with the development plan with no material considerations of sufficient weight to outweigh this.
