Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to privacy
  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • whether the proposal would provide appropriate living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to the provision of amenity space
  • whether the proposal would include appropriate foul water treatment

What decided it

The proposal would result in a harmful loss of privacy for neighbouring occupiers, particularly The Old Police House and the mobile home, which could not be mitigated and outweighed the benefits of the development.
