Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • the living conditions of future occupants, with specific regard to garden and internal space
  • highway and pedestrian safety

What decided it

The proposal fails to accord with the development plan on three independent grounds: unacceptable harm to character and appearance through disruption of the terrace's uniformity, inadequate living conditions due to substandard garden and internal space, and unacceptable highway and pedestrian safety impacts from insufficient parking provision.
