®Planning appeal decision
78 Fernbank Road , Ascot , Berkshire , SL5 8HF
Installation of a barn style outbuilding with attached shed at the bottom of the existing garden for use as a home gym and storage. Following completion of the work the existing garage (which will be no longer accessible to vehicles due to already approved extension) will be dismantled to make way for extension build. The proposed outbuilding is planned to be 0.5m from the site boundary and is 3.982m high at top of dual roof with eaves starting at 2m

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- the living conditions of the occupiers of 9 Saddlers Mews, with particular regard to outlook
What decided it
The outbuilding, although large, is appropriately scaled to the plot, does not appear unduly overbearing or result in harmful loss of outlook to neighbouring properties, and therefore does not conflict with development plan policies on character, appearance and residential amenity.
Plan policies cited: Policy CS7 of the Core Strategy Development Plan Document (adopted 2008), Policy EN20 of the Bracknell Forest Borough Local Plan (adopted 2002)
