Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of existing occupiers of neighbouring properties with regard to privacy and outlook
- Whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future residents with regard to outlook and private outside space
What decided it
The proposal would harm the character and appearance of Longster Close through its excessive height, scale and cramped siting, cause unacceptable overlooking to neighbouring occupiers, and provide poor living conditions for future residents through inadequate outlook and private garden space, contrary to the development plan with no material considerations to outweigh these findings.
