Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of 6 Park Shaw and the wider street scene
- the living conditions at 2 and 4 Park Shaw with particular regard to visual impact and privacy
What decided it
The proposal would be harmful to the character and appearance of the dwelling and wider street scene through its incongruous design elements that fail to respect the simple, uniform architectural character of the area.
The benefit of providing additional living space to the occupier was outweighed by the significant harm to the character and appearance of the dwelling and street scene, with no balancing exercise capable of overcoming the design conflicts with the development plan.
