Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- effect of varying the conditions on the character and appearance of the host building and area
- adequacy of the refuse storage facilities, including locating the refuse facilities adjacent to the cycle storage area
- living conditions of the occupiers of No 2 Fairacres, with specific regard to outlook
What decided it
The excessive height and bulk of the built single storey side wing, which would remain visually harmful to character and appearance despite the proposed green wall mitigation, combined with inadequate refuse provision and harm to neighbouring outlook.
