Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to outlook and privacy
  • whether it would provide acceptable living conditions for the future occupiers of the development, with particular regard to outlook and amenity space

What decided it

The proposed development's two-storey mansard design would be incongruous with the established single-storey gabled character of Laurel Banks and would harm the living conditions of neighbouring and future occupiers regarding outlook, privacy and amenity space.
