Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including with regard to trees
What decided it
The proposal would introduce a terrace of three dwellings discordant with the established pattern of semi-detached pairs and would appear dominant in the street scene due to its proximity to the highway, eroding the area's pleasant open character in breach of development plan policies and paragraph 130 of the Framework.
The modest benefits of providing one new dwelling were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the adverse impacts on character and appearance.
