Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with regard to outlook, sunlight, privacy, noise and disturbance

What decided it

The combination of the site's limited public visibility, the modest proportion of built form relative to the site area, the separation distances from neighbouring properties, and the secured mitigation measures for protected sites enabled the appeal to be allowed despite the Council's concerns about character and density.
