Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of current and future occupants, with particular regard to outlook and privacy
  • whether the proposed development provides acceptable access, parking and manoeuvring arrangements for vehicles

What decided it
