Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the outbuilding, pergola and decking on the character and appearance of the host property and the local area
  • Whether sufficient amenity space would be retained in the interest of the living conditions of the occupiers of the house
  • The effect on the surface water drainage system for the estate and whether the development would contribute to the risk of flooding

What decided it

The imposition of a condition requiring a surface water drainage scheme to be submitted, approved and implemented within six months mitigated the flooding risk, allowing the proposal to accord with the development plan without material harm to character, appearance or amenity space.
