Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and its surroundings
  • Whether the proposal would constitute an overdevelopment of the site

What decided it

The two-storey element sited very close to the rear boundaries of neighbouring properties would be overbearing and cause harmful overshadowing, representing clear overdevelopment that conflicts with development plan policies requiring respect for local character and neighbouring amenity.
