Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed swimming pool building on the character and appearance of the host property
- the pool building's effect on the living conditions of neighbouring residential occupiers in terms of visual amenity
What decided it
The proposed building's excessive height relative to its proximity to side boundaries and the narrowness of the rear garden would cause unacceptable visual harm to the character of the property and the living conditions of neighbours.
