Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect upon the character and appearance of the area
  • the living conditions of the occupiers of 40 St Luke's Road and the future occupiers of the proposed dwelling with particular regard to the provision of garden space and outlook, and the living conditions of the occupiers of 38 St Luke's Road with particular regard to privacy
  • surface water drainage

What decided it

The single storey nature and modest scale of the proposal, combined with the retention of visual gaps and effective boundary screening, allowed the development to integrate acceptably with the established character while maintaining adequate living conditions for all affected occupiers.
