Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the appeal proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • Its effect on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers

What decided it

The outbuilding's limited visibility within the street scene due to its setback position and screening, combined with the credible fallback position of a permitted development compliant structure, and the absence of an unacceptable overbearing effect on neighbouring amenity when considered in the built context of the area.
