Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether satisfactory garden space would be retained and provided for existing and future occupiers

What decided it

The substantial harm to the character and appearance of the area and the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, combined with inadequate garden provision, outweighed the limited benefits of the proposal.
