Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect that varying the condition would have on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect that varying the condition would have on the living conditions of the occupants of the neighbouring dwelling with regard to outlook
  • the effect that varying the condition would have on the planning obligations secured as part of the Existing Permission

What decided it

The failure to secure appropriate planning obligations through a legally sound mechanism meant the development could not be made acceptable in planning terms, notwithstanding the absence of harm to character, appearance, and neighbouring living conditions.

Framework references: 140

Plan policies cited: Policy ST04, Policy DM04
