Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development upon the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- whether appropriate living conditions would be provided for the future occupiers of the proposed development, with particular reference to access to outdoors recreation space
- the effect of the proposed development upon highway safety
What decided it
The proposed mansard roof design would appear unduly incongruous and discordant within the linear terrace pattern with its consistent pitched roofs, combined with the failure to provide appropriate on-site outdoor recreation space for future occupiers, particularly a family dwelling.
