Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the character of the area
  • the living conditions of neighbouring properties
  • whether it would create an independent living unit

What decided it

The excessive size and scale of the proposed outbuilding relative to the plot and surrounding area, combined with its harmful impact on the character of the area and outlook of neighbouring properties, outweighed the appellant's personal needs for the facility.
