Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the new dwelling would be acceptable in this countryside location
  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions for occupiers of the Frog and Effet and the annex building as regards privacy

What decided it

The proposal would cause significant harm to the living conditions and privacy of occupiers of both buildings due to the inherently unsatisfactory relationship between the two buildings, which cannot be adequately mitigated by the proposed landscaping.
