Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupants of the host property
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the future occupants of the proposed dwelling having regard to noise exposure, privacy, natural light and outlook and internal floorspace
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan on multiple grounds—character and appearance, living conditions of both host and future occupants—and material considerations do not indicate the appeal should be decided otherwise.
