Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the appeal development on the character and appearance of the area
  • the living conditions of neighbouring residents at No 17 & No 19 Cross Furlong in regard to outlook
  • flood risk

What decided it

The outbuilding's prominent siting, excessive height above boundary treatments, and incongruous appearance caused unacceptable harm to character and appearance, and its bulk and proximity created an overbearing effect on neighbouring residents' outlook, conflicting with Local Plan Policy SWDPR 28.
