Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host building and the wider area
- whether the development provides its occupants with acceptable living conditions, with regard to outdoor private amenity space
What decided it
The outbuilding's modest single storey height, subservient design, matching brick materials, and the screening effect of mature trees and the grass verge setback mean it does not materially harm character and appearance, and the retained garden area meets minimum policy standards for private amenity space.
