Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring dwellings

What decided it

The variety in height, form and scale of buildings on Bottrells Lane, combined with the spacious character of the area and the separation maintained to neighbours, meant that the development would sit comfortably on the site and not cause unacceptable harm to character, appearance or neighbouring living conditions despite exceeding the height of immediate neighbours.
