Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host dwelling, adjoining terraced dwellings and the wider area
- The effect on the living conditions of future occupants of the proposed dwellings by reason of layout, outlook, size and private amenity space
- Whether vehicular parking would be adequate
- Whether safe and secure refuse/recycling and cycle storage could be secured for each unit
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the host dwelling and adjoining terrace, combined with substandard internal living space in the two-bedroom unit and inadequate parking provision, outweighed the benefit of one additional residential unit.
