Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the existing property and the area
- whether it would provide appropriate accessibility for disabled residents
What decided it
The scale, layout and design of the proposed dwelling would adversely harm the character and appearance of the area by virtue of its bulky flat roof and narrow elongated form being at odds with the traditional hipped-roof properties and established sense of space and openness.
The benefits of additional housing supply and efficient use of land were outweighed by the adverse harm to the character and appearance of the area.
