Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether condition 3 and 4 are reasonable and necessary to protect the living conditions of the occupiers of the host and neighbouring dwellings with particular regard to overlooking and overbearing effects, and future occupiers of the proposal with regard to outdoor garden space
- Whether condition 4 is reasonable and necessary in the interests of the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The close proximity of the mobile home to the host property and neighbouring properties would create harmful overlooking and overbearing effects if the conditions restricting ancillary use and requiring landscaping were removed, necessitating their retention to protect living conditions.
