Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the proposal upon the living conditions of the future occupiers of the development with regard to privacy
  • the effect of the proposal upon trees

What decided it

The established pattern of tandem developments and rear-access roads in the surrounding area, combined with the limited scale of the single-storey dwelling and the ability to secure privacy through boundary treatment conditions, demonstrated that the proposal would not harm character and appearance or living conditions.
