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 living conditions for occupiers of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to loss of outlook or loss of privacy
  • Whether the proposed development would make appropriate provision in respect of biodiversity net gain

What decided it

The design and siting of the proposed dwelling would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of Redhouse Bank and would result in a harmful loss of outlook to neighbouring occupiers, which together outweigh the limited benefits of the proposal.
