Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect on the living conditions of neighbouring occupants, with respect to outlook
- Whether the proposal would provide an acceptable standard of accommodation
- Whether it is necessary for the development to be car-free, having regard to existing parking pressure in the area
What decided it
The proposal would harmfully disrupt the character and appearance of the area through conspicuous backland development and would fail to provide an acceptable standard of accommodation due to poor outlook and inadequate garden space, with these conflicts with the development plan not outweighed by the limited benefits of additional housing.
