Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- whether it has been demonstrated that the proposal would be acceptable with respect to highway safety during the construction phase, with particular regard to pedestrians
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of existing occupants of houses in the locality with regard to parking stress, and whether the proposal would create acceptable living conditions for its future occupants with respect to accessibility
What decided it
The considerable and enduring harm to the character and appearance of the surrounding area caused by the cramped positioning and asymmetrical siting of the proposed dwellings, which would be out of kilter with the existing symmetry, rhythm and positioning of surrounding development.
