Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area in terms of the scale and design of the outbuilding
  • Its impact on the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring properties

What decided it

The outbuilding's modest ridge height of approximately 2.8 metres, proportionate design, and lack of demonstrable harm to neighbouring living conditions or the character and appearance of the area justified allowing the appeal and granting planning permission.
