Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development upon the character and appearance of the site and surrounding area
  • the living conditions of neighbours particularly as regards noise and disturbance from comings and goings and vehicles
  • the living conditions of occupiers of the outbuilding

What decided it

The development causes significant harm to character and appearance through the substantial extended outbuilding, unacceptable noise and disturbance to neighbours from multiple household use, and creates dwellings that are significantly undersized and fail to meet minimum housing standards.
