Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers at Nos 1 and 7 Triggs Lane, with particular regard to privacy and outlook
- whether the development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers with regard to outdoor amenity space
- the effect of the proposal on the Thames Basin Heaths Special Protection Area (SPA)
What decided it
The cumulative harm to character and appearance, neighbouring living conditions, inadequate amenity space for Plot 1, and absence of secured SPA mitigation outweighed the modest benefits of providing two additional dwellings.
