Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the proposal would provide a suitable standard of accommodation for future occupants
- Whether the proposal would involve excavation that would pose a risk to the structural integrity of the adjoining terrace
- Whether, if necessary, the proposal would make adequate provision for affordable housing and carbon offsetting, having regard to relevant development plan policies
What decided it
The proposal would significantly harm the character and appearance of the area by introducing a prominent, incongruous dwelling that would undermine the consistent layout and townscape character of the terraces, contrary to the development plan.
