Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the unauthorised works on the character and appearance of this part of East Ardsley
  • The effect on the living conditions of the occupiers of the nearest neighbouring dwellings

What decided it

The combined visual harm to character and appearance from the loss of landscaped amenity space and the erection of an unsympathetic timber fence and outbuilding in a prominent location, together with the unacceptable outlook created for neighbouring residents, completely outweighed any other considerations.
