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 satisfactory living conditions for the future occupants of the new dwelling, with regards to adequate and convenient private garden space
What decided it
The proposal's design response to the existing terrace character and the provision of adequate, practical private garden space for a one-bedroom dwelling, despite the unconventional alleyway access, satisfied the main policy requirements and justified allowing the appeal.
