Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposed development would provide satisfactory living conditions for the future occupiers, with particular regard to outlook
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupants of 239 Mutton Lane and Manor Court
What decided it
The varied character of the surrounding area, with mixed building sizes, orientations and rear-positioned structures, meant the tandem development would not read as incongruous or cramped, and the contemporary design would complement rather than harm the local vernacular.
