Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area and the host properties
- planning obligations with particular reference to parking permits
What decided it
The harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by the bulky and overly prominent mansard roof extension, which would erode the characteristic simplicity of the roof-lines and be out of keeping with the modest linear terraces, outweighed the benefit of additional housing units.
the benefits of additional housing units on a brownfield site in a sustainable location did not outweigh the harm to character and appearance
