Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • Whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers in relation to outlook, daylight/sunlight, noise and odour
  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 41 Main Street in relation to privacy and daylight/sunlight

What decided it

The proposed development would unacceptably harm the character and appearance of the area by removing a key visual buffer and creating a cramped form of development, and would provide poor living conditions for future occupiers due to proximity to an agricultural building and reduced daylight/sunlight.
