Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • the effect of the development upon the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties, with particular reference to privacy

What decided it

The high level of harm to character and appearance combined with significant harm to neighbouring privacy, when assessed against the tilted balance, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits of four additional dwellings and economic gains.
