Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character of the street and surrounding area

What decided it

The significant harm to the character of the street and surrounding area, particularly the loss of the open front gardens at the junction, outweighed the benefits of providing one additional dwelling in an area with an up-to-date five-year housing land supply.
