Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would be acceptable having regard to the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposed development would be acceptable having regard to the living conditions of the occupiers of nearby dwellings and gardens, in respect of privacy and outlook
- whether the proposed development would be acceptable having regard to the living conditions of future occupiers of the proposed dwelling, with regard to the provision of external amenity space
What decided it
The proposed development would conflict with the development plan through harm to character and appearance and unacceptable impacts on the living conditions of nearby occupiers, and no material considerations were sufficient to outweigh this conflict.
