Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of future occupants, with regard to garden space
- the living conditions of neighbouring occupants in Beckford, with regard to outlook
What decided it
The forward position of the proposed building on a prominent corner location would harm the character and appearance of the area and provide poor living conditions for future occupants due to noise exposure, which outweighs the modest benefit of providing an additional dwelling.
