Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the living conditions of the neighbours at 37 Weston Court, Flat 3 with particular regard to (i) outlook and (ii) noise

What decided it

The outbuilding creates a dominant and visually intrusive feature that causes material harm to the outlook and amenity of the neighbouring flat, which cannot be adequately mitigated and conflicts with the development plan.
