Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the local area
- Whether the appeal proposal constitutes inappropriate development of a residential garden
What decided it
The proposed development would result in significant harm to the character and appearance of the local area by appearing as an incongruous stand-alone development that would not respect the established residential typology of Longton Avenue and would detract from the free-form landscaped character of the High Level Estate.
The benefits of housing development on a small site were outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance, poor public transport accessibility, and the fundamental conflict with local design and character policies.
