Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development upon the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposed development upon the living conditions of the occupiers of 192 Browning Road, with particular regard to outlook and daylight
- Whether the proposed development would provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers of the proposed dwelling, with particular regard to outside space, outlook and daylight
- The effect of the proposed development upon the biodiversity value of the site
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by the dwelling's prominent siting forward of established building lines and its discordant design, combined with unacceptable harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, outweighed the limited benefits of providing one new dwelling on a small site.
