Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect of the proposed parking arrangements on highway safety

What decided it

The substantial harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by the incongruous and out-of-proportion built-form to plot ratio of the proposed semi-detached dwellings was not outweighed by any material considerations.

The substantial harm to character and appearance significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of the development when assessed against the development plan policies.

Plan policies cited: SP4.1, DM10, DM28, SP8, DM29, DM30, D4, T6
