Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the local area
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to outlook
What decided it
The outbuilding's substantial scale, siting and form would cause unacceptable harm to both the character and appearance of the local area and the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through loss of outlook, conflicting with the development plan and NPPF design objectives.
