Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the development mitigates climate change and promotes biodiversity
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of occupiers of 18 Listria Park, with particular regard to privacy
What decided it
The development's excessive height, width and depth caused significant harmful effects on the character and appearance of the area that were not outweighed by any material considerations, and the fallback position of the lawful development certificate scheme would cause notably lower harm.
