Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • The need for car parking provision
  • The living conditions of the neighbouring occupants with particular reference to outlook

What decided it

The significant closure of the gap between the proposed development and the adjacent property would harmfully erode the spacious character and appearance of the area, compounded by the unresolved parking provision conflict and harmful impact on neighbouring outlook.
