Planning appeal decision
Howdale Road Street Works, Howdale Road (Northern Side), Kingston Upon Hull, HU8 9UU
Planning appeal 3323241 at Howdale Road Street Works, Howdale Road (Northern Side), Kingston Upon Hull, HU8 9UU (Kingston-Upon-Hull City Council) was dismissed on 18 January 2024 by Inspector Moore J, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: The effect of the siting and appearance of the proposal on a) the character and appearance of the area and b) the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with regard to outlook; and, if any harm would occur, whether this is outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed, taking into account any suitable alternatives.

What decided it
