Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host property and its surroundings
  • the effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupants of the adjoining dwelling at 23 Cherry Orchard with particular reference to visual impact, overshadowing and light

What decided it

The existence of a fall-back position (a similar scheme recently approved by the Council) and the minimal differences between the appeal scheme and that approved scheme, combined with the absence of material harm to character, appearance or neighbouring living conditions, justified allowing the appeal.
