Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of varying/removing the disputed conditions on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect on the living conditions of occupiers of adjoining residential property, having regard to privacy

What decided it

The revised dwelling would not be substantially different to the approved scheme and would not have an unacceptable effect on the character and appearance of the area or on privacy levels of adjoining occupiers, and the restrictive conditions were neither necessary nor reasonable.
