Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the building and the surrounding area
  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers, with particular reference to privacy for Appeal A and privacy, noise and disturbance for Appeal B

What decided it

The diverse character of the surrounding area with varied fenestration styles and the rear placement of the screens meant they would not have an unacceptable effect on character and appearance or neighbouring living conditions.
