Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area and whether it would preserve the significance of the Thorne Conservation Area
- The effect of the proposal on neighbouring uses and whether prospective future occupiers of the scheme would have suitable living conditions
What decided it
The lack of formal bin storage causing bins to be stored on the public footpath, combined with inadequate separation distances causing loss of daylight and overshadowing to neighbours, and failure to provide private outdoor amenity space and sufficient internal space for future occupiers, collectively rendered the proposal unacceptable against development plan policies and the Framework.
Framework references: 135, 205
Plan policies cited: Policy 37, Policy 41, Policy 44, Policy 45
