Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area
  • Whether there is a fallback position that would justify the development as built
  • Whether the proposed alternative schemes would be part of the matters stated in the notice, and if so, their effect on the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area

What decided it

The Inspector's agreement with the previous Inspector's finding that the development harmed the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area, unmitigated by an insufficiently evidenced fallback position.
