Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the appeal building and the wider area
- the living conditions of the occupiers of Mill Cottage, having regard to privacy
What decided it
The weight afforded to the fallback position of the approved August 2025 scheme, which established that a substantially similar development was acceptable, meant the modest disputed variations would not result in unacceptable harm to character, appearance or neighbouring privacy.
