Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties, and future occupiers of the appeal property
  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the existing dwelling

What decided it

The proposed development would harm the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through its overbearing impact and would harm the character and appearance of the existing dwelling through its cramped appearance on the plot.

Plan policies cited: Policy 29, Policy 30, Policy 32
