Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of the occupiers of 'Belair', with particular regard to overshadowing, and whether it would be overbearing
What decided it
The proposal maintains the simple modest shed-like form and scale of surrounding chalets without material increase in size or ridge height, and would not result in harmful overshadowing or overbearing effects on neighbouring occupiers when assessed against the specific spatial relationships and topography of the site.
