Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of 393 Newton Road, with reference to outlook and sunlight
What decided it
The adverse effect on the living conditions of the occupiers of the neighbouring property 393 Newton Road, particularly the overbearing outlook and overshadowing of the rear garden, conflicted with development plan policy and could not be justified by the personal circumstances of the appellants' family member.
