Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • the effect of the proposal with respect to highway safety and sustainable transport

What decided it

The material harm to character and appearance caused by the creation of a new terrace in a prominent corner location contrary to the established pattern of semi-detached development, combined with unresolved highway safety concerns and inadequate sustainable transport provision, outweighed the limited housing and sustainability benefits.

the limited housing contribution and sustainability benefits were afforded moderate weight but were insufficient to outweigh the considerable planning harm to character and appearance and the unresolved highway safety and sustainable transport concerns
