Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including its effect on trees and hedgerows
  • whether the proposed development would provide appropriate living conditions for future occupiers, with regard to sunlight, daylight, outlook and outdoor amenity space

What decided it

The proposal would cause demonstrable harm to the character and appearance of the area through loss of positive landscape features and inappropriate siting at a highway junction, whilst simultaneously failing to provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers due to overshadowing and poor light.
