- Inspector
- Cryan M
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- Living conditions for occupiers of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to privacy and whether the development would be overbearing
- Mature trees, including trees protected by a Tree Preservation Order
What decided it
The scale of the proposed building, being much taller than existing structures and dominating the open garden character of the area, combined with unacceptable harm to neighbouring living conditions through overlooking and overbearing impact, could not be mitigated through reserved matters and conflicted with the development plan.
