Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on (a) the character and appearance of the area; and (b) the provision of parking
What decided it
The proposal would result in harm to the character and appearance of the area by appearing incongruous and cramped within the local streetscene, which was not outweighed by the benefits of additional housing.
The benefits of additional, well-insulated, wheelchair-friendly housing in an accessible location did not outweigh the harm to character and appearance.
