Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surroundings
  • The effect of the proposed development on the residential amenities of neighbours (whether unacceptable harm would be caused by overbearing appearance or overshadowing or intrusion on privacy)

What decided it

The large northern flank wall would dominate neighbouring properties' back gardens, seriously intruding on their outlook and overshadowing them, causing unacceptable harm to residential amenities that outweighs the housing benefit.
