Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of existing occupiers of No 6 School Close with particular regard to outlook and daylight/sunlight

What decided it

The limited size, scale and rear garden location of the timber shed, combined with its modest visual impact on both the character of the area and the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, justified allowing the appeal.
