Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The cumulative scale, prominence and formality of the two large, similar and closely positioned terraced buildings would constitute a pronounced suburban intrusion that would harmfully diminish the rural character of Wells Lane and conflict with the existing pattern of development.
The benefits from delivery of 6 houses and more efficient use of urban land were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the harm to the character and appearance of the area
