Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposal on highway safety
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties
- whether the proposal would provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers
What decided it
The significant harm to character and appearance caused by the dwelling's prominent siting close to the front boundary, combined with unacceptable highway safety impacts and harm to neighbouring living conditions, decisively outweighed the limited benefits of providing one additional housing unit.

- Development plan policies
- Policy CS28Policy SP12Policy SP55
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 11Paragraph 111
