Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the living conditions of occupants of both the annex and 10 Sandy Lane, with particular regard to overlooking and noise and disturbance
  • The effect of the development on the living conditions of occupants of the annex, with particular regard to outlook and internal space
  • Whether the site is a suitable location for housing, with particular regard to the local development plan spatial strategy

What decided it

The significant harm to the living conditions of occupants of both the annex and the neighbouring property through overlooking, privacy loss, and noise disturbance, combined with the unacceptable outlook from the annex bedroom and conflict with the local development plan's spatial strategy for housing location, outweighs the moderate benefits of providing one additional dwelling.
