Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character of the area
- Whether it would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers
- Whether it would make acceptable provision for cycle parking
- Whether it would make acceptable provision for the storage of refuse and recycling
What decided it
The subdivision of the garden to create a separate residential unit would result in plots significantly smaller than neighbouring sites and would be harmful to the character of the area, which outweighed the benefits of providing one additional dwelling.
