Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the building and street scene

What decided it

The precedent of the similar development at No.26 Wyken Grove, combined with the finding that the proposal would have no significant detrimental impact on character and appearance despite exceeding supplementary planning document guidance, justified allowing the appeal.

CP1GEN 8
