- Procedure

- residential · Householder developments
- Inspector
- Bond V
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the appeal development affords acceptable living conditions for its occupants, with particular regard to outlook and external space provision
- the effect on the living conditions of neighbouring occupants with regard to overlooking, perceived overlooking and noise/disturbance
What decided it
The outbuilding offers unacceptable living conditions to its occupants with regard to outlook and would cause harmful effects on neighbouring occupants through perceived overlooking and increased noise and disturbance, conflicting with the development plan.
The modest support for additional residential accommodation and housing supply was outweighed by the unacceptable living conditions for occupants and harmful effects on neighbouring amenity.
