Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed dwelling on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- The effect of the proposed dwelling on the living conditions of the occupiers of Nos. 7, 7a, 9 and 11 Caslon Close with particular reference to outlook, privacy and vehicular noise and disturbance, and the effect on private amenity space for occupants of the proposed dwelling
- The effect of the proposed parking arrangement on highway safety in Caslon Close
What decided it
The backland position of the dwelling within a constrained plot in an area characterised by open rear gardens, combined with the fundamental incompatibility with the established residential pattern and the inability to satisfactorily resolve competing site constraints, rendered the principle of development unacceptable.
