Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the building on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the surrounding area
- the effect of the proposed building on neighbours in terms of overshadowing and being overbearing
What decided it
The shed's scale, materials, colour and mass create a dominating and overbearing effect on neighbours with minimal rear garden space, making it harmful to the character and appearance of the surrounding area.
