Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of the neighbouring dwellings with regard to outlook and loss of light
  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area

What decided it

The proposed dwelling's close proximity to shared boundaries combined with its substantial roof height would cause significant harm to the outlook and daylight of neighbouring occupiers, conflicting with local plan policies protecting residential amenity.

Plan policies cited: Policy SP7 of the North Essex Authorities' Shared Strategic Section 1 Plan 2021, Policy SPL3(c) of the Tendring District Local Plan 2013-2033 and Beyond Section 2 2022, Policy SPL3(A)(b) of the Tendring District Local Plan 2013-2033 and Beyond Section 2 2022
