Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effects of the proposed dwelling on the character and appearance of the area around Heathland
- The effects of the proposed dwelling on the living conditions of the occupiers of No 17 Heathland by way of privacy
- The effects of the proposed dwelling on the provision of open space in the area around Heathland/Highmeadow
What decided it
The proposal would result in the loss of the only informal and amenity green space in the area without meeting any of the conditions in Policy EN3 of the Local Plan, combined with harmful effects on character and appearance through forward projection from the established building line.
Plan policies cited: Policy GN3, Policy EN3
