Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the appeal site and surrounding area
What decided it
The proposed two-storey dwelling would significantly harm the character and appearance of the appeal site and surrounding area by disrupting the symmetry of the existing terrace and presenting as an incongruent, cramped feature in the street scene, and this harm could not be outweighed by the limited housing benefits.
The limited social and economic benefits of housing delivery on a small site did not outweigh the significant harm to the character and appearance of the surrounding area.
