Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the appeal site and surrounding area
  • the living conditions of nearby residents, with regard to noise and disturbance related to access and the parking area
  • parking and highway safety

What decided it

The material harm to character and appearance through creation of an incongruous terrace form and uncharacteristic rear parking arrangement, combined with unacceptable noise and disturbance to neighbouring residents and inadequate parking provision, outweighed any benefits of windfall housing development.
