Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- The quality of the living conditions for future occupiers
What decided it
The proposed development would harmfully erode the spaciousness and modest secondary character of Crown Street through an uncharacteristic pattern of development, and the limited public benefits would not outweigh this significant environmental harm.
The limited public benefits of a new house close to local shops, services and public transport would not outweigh the significant public and permanent harm to the character and appearance of the area; the balance was not tilted.
