Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • its impact on the living conditions of nearby neighbouring occupiers of Nos 78 and 80 Barley Lane and Nos 4 and 6 Langham Drive

What decided it

The identical footprint to the lawful scheme, combined with sufficient distances to neighbouring properties and boundary screening, meant the additional height and roof design changes did not create unacceptable visual or amenity impacts.
