Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of future occupiers
- highway safety with specific regard to access and parking
What decided it
The proposed development's unconventional detached design with a staggered multi-level roofscape would appear markedly out of place and unacceptably reduce the quality and consistency of the street scene, causing harm to character and appearance that cannot be overcome by the absence of harm on other issues.
