Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of occupants of 18 Harvil Road in terms of access to light and outlook
What decided it
The harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by the incongruous and ostentatious design of the proposed house, which would not harmonise with the street scene, outweighed the limited benefit of increased living accommodation.
The harm to character and appearance was not outweighed by any benefits or other factors of sufficient weight to justify granting planning permission contrary to the development plan.
