Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether prior approval should be granted, having regard to the effects of the proposed development on the external appearance of the dwellinghouse
- whether prior approval should be granted, having regard to the effects of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of the caravan adjacent to the appeal site with particular regard to their outlook
What decided it
The proposed development's modest 2.6m height increase with shallow roof pitch design, combined with the prevalence of three-storey properties in the local area and the caravan's existing screening and window orientation, renders the development acceptable in terms of external appearance and neighbouring amenity.
