Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to privacy, outlook, sunlight, noise, and disturbance
  • whether the proposal would result in flood risk to the site or elsewhere
  • whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers with particular regard to sunlight and outlook

What decided it

The proposal's contemporary design with flat roof and asymmetrical glazing would harm the character and appearance of the area and significantly harm neighbouring living conditions through loss of privacy and overbearing impact, contrary to Policy DM35.
