Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of occupiers of the main dwelling and neighbouring residents, with particular regard to privacy and private amenity space
- the Thames Basin Heaths Special Protection Area
What decided it
The considerable reduction in rear garden spaciousness caused by the scale of the outbuilding and shed, combined with the loss of privacy from inadequate window separation distances, caused harm that outweighed the social benefits of the annexe.
