Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- whether acceptable sized outside amenity space would be available for the occupiers of No 2 Brunswick Crescent and the proposed dwelling
- whether in the absence of off-street car parking the proposal would lead to an unacceptable level of on-street car parking stress on surrounding roads
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by the dominant two-storey dwelling breaking the building line of Brunswick Park Road, combined with the provision of insufficient outside amenity space below local standards, outweighed the modest social and economic benefits of one additional dwelling in an area with a demonstrable five-year housing supply.
The modest social and economic benefits of one additional dwelling were outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance and the failure to provide adequate outside amenity space.
