Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the surrounding area
- whether the proposal would provide a satisfactory standard of accommodation for future occupiers, with particular regard to access to light, outlook, privacy and external amenity space
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with regard to outlook, privacy and external amenity space
- the effect of the development on highway safety
What decided it
The significant harm to character and appearance, failure to provide satisfactory accommodation for future occupiers, and adverse impact on neighbouring living conditions, taken together, resulted in conflict with the development plan which was not outweighed by the limited benefits of the proposal.
