Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the local area
  • Whether future occupants would be provided with suitable living conditions, with particular regard to the size of the bedroom

What decided it

The proposed new dwelling would detract from and harm the character and appearance of the local area through its narrow width, poor fenestration detailing, and roof form, which would conflict with local plan policies and the NPPF.
