Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • whether acceptable living conditions would be provided for future occupiers of the proposed dwelling with regard to private garden space, outlook and privacy
  • whether acceptable living conditions would be provided for future occupants of the approved dwelling with regard to private garden space

What decided it

The proposed dwelling's contemporary design respecting local context, combined with acceptable living conditions for both the proposed and approved dwellings regarding garden space, outlook and privacy, demonstrated compliance with the development plan and justified allowing the appeal.
