Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the appeal site and the surrounding area
- whether the proposed development represents a residential annexe given its nature and relationship with the existing dwelling
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupants of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to privacy and outlook
What decided it
The proposed development would harm the character and appearance of the appeal site and surrounding area through its poor design, scale, and incongruous relationship with the existing dwelling and suburban context, contrary to Policy SWDP21.
