Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect on the character and appearance of the host property and area
- The effect on the living conditions of neighbouring occupants
What decided it
The cumulative harm to character and appearance and living conditions of neighbours caused by the extensive built development in the rear garden, combined with the inability to sever the swimming pool from the raised patio to apply a split decision, outweighs the fallback position argument.
