Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers of no 37 Bonnar Road, with particular regard to outlook
What decided it
The layout of the proposal would constitute harmful backland development that would appear unduly prominent in the street scene and detract from the prevailing pattern of frontage development, while the proposed dwelling on plot 3 would dominate views from the neighbouring property and create a harmful sense of enclosure.
The benefits associated with the proposal would be outweighed by the harm which would be caused to the character and appearance of the area, and the living conditions of neighbouring residents.
