Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including the appeal property
- the living conditions of the occupiers of the appeal property, with regard to outdoor space
- the living conditions of the occupiers of The Old Smithy, with regard to outlook
What decided it
The significant harm to character and appearance of the area, combined with moderate harm to living conditions of both the appeal property and neighbouring occupiers, outweighed the personal circumstances of providing accommodation for an elderly relative with dementia.
