Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the pergola/trellis structure on the living conditions of the occupiers of Number 13 Glebelands with particular regard to outlook and light
- The effect of the cladding and pergola/trellis structure on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the development on the Lye Valley Site of Special Scientific Interest with particular regard to drainage
What decided it
The pergola/trellis structure creates an unacceptably poor standard of outlook for the users of the garden at Number 13 Glebelands due to its height, proximity to the boundary with no separation gap, and the small enclosed nature of the neighbouring garden, thereby conflicting with the development plan.
