Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- The living conditions of the occupiers of Charen and Corner Cottage, with reference to outlook
What decided it
The garden office was effectively screened by well-established hedgerows characteristic of the area and was not visible from neighbouring properties, ensuring no harmful effect on character, appearance, or neighbouring outlook.
