Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the dwelling and the street scene
  • the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers at No.100 Redwood Drive with particular regard to loss of light and outlook; No's. 11 and 15 Brier Hill View with regard to privacy
  • the habitat of protected species with regard to potential disturbance
  • the living conditions of the occupiers of the appeal property with particular regard to noise and odour given the proximity of the property to the existing Priority Employment Area

What decided it

The proposed development fails to respect the established character and scale of the locality, causes unacceptable harm to neighbouring amenity, and lacks substantive evidence to demonstrate compliance with ecological and environmental quality requirements.

Framework references: 135, 191
