Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the architectural integrity of the host property and thereby the character and appearance of the area
  • the potential impact of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers in terms of visual intrusion, overbearing impact, sense of enclosure and overlooking/loss of privacy
  • the effect of the proposal on highway safety

What decided it

The proposal would cause significant harm to the architectural integrity of the host property and the character and appearance of the area, combined with an overbearing impact on neighbouring living conditions and inadequate information to assess highway safety impacts.
