Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the host building and wider area
- The living conditions of neighbouring residents, with particular regard to noise and disturbance, and odour
What decided it
The proposed front gazebo would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the host building and wider area, and all proposed structures would cause significant and harmful impacts on neighbouring residents' living conditions through noise, disturbance and odour, conflicting with the development plan with no material considerations to outweigh this conflict.
