Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect on living conditions of neighbouring occupants, with respect to privacy, noise and disturbance
  • Whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for occupants of the proposed dwelling in terms of the standard of internal space, and occupants of the existing dwelling at No 14 in terms of the provision of private external space
  • Whether the proposal would provide acceptable levels of off-street parking and cycle storage

What decided it

The failure to provide adequate private external space for the retained dwelling, combined with harm to character and appearance, resulted in conflict with the development plan which could not be outweighed by the limited benefits of the proposal.

The harm to character and appearance and adverse effects on future occupants' living conditions, resulting in conflict with the development plan, outweighed the limited benefits of an additional dwelling and economic benefits from construction.
