Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the streetscene
  • the impact of the proposed dwelling and refuse store on the living conditions of No 8 especially with respect to outlook and smell nuisance
  • the effect of the proposed dwelling on local area with respect to the proposed parking arrangement

What decided it

The harmful impact on the character and appearance of the streetscene through enclosure of the existing gap between terraced rows, combined with demonstrable harm to the outlook of neighbouring occupiers at No 8.

The Framework's aim to boost housing supply was outweighed by the harm to character and appearance and living conditions of neighbours, with no material considerations indicating the decision should depart from the development plan.
