Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the appeal scheme on the character and appearance of the area
  • the living conditions of the occupiers of Greenacres and the future occupiers of the new dwelling, with particular regard to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by the backland location interrupting the linear built form, combined with inadequate living conditions due to shared access and parking arrangements creating noise and disturbance, meant the scheme conflicted with the development plan with no material considerations to indicate otherwise.
