Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the achievement and maintenance of balanced communities with particular regard to family dwellings
- whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Mapperley Park and Alexandra Park Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposal would provide a four bedroom family dwelling meeting the Council's priority for family housing, and would preserve the character and appearance of the conservation area through limited visibility of the lightwell and retention of sufficient planting.
