Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the appeal site and surrounding area

What decided it

The substantial harm caused by the siting of the development between the two semi-detached dwellings and its setback from the street, which would significantly interrupt the linear character of development on this part of Harts Lane, outweighed the significant benefits of housing and self-build provision.

The significant benefits of housing delivery and self-build provision were outweighed by the substantial harm to the character and appearance of the surrounding area.
