Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of the neighbouring dwellings, in relation to outlook and light

What decided it

The proposed three storey replacement dwelling would harm the character and appearance of the area by appearing dominant and incongruous within a row of single storey dwellings, conflicting with the development plan.

The benefits of maximising land use and providing a suitably sized family dwelling with on-site parking were outweighed by the harm to character and appearance of the area.
