Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character of the area
  • the acceptability of the proposed dwelling in terms of its provision of accommodation, private open space and facilities for cycle and bin storage

What decided it

The harmful effect on the character of the area combined with inadequate private open space provision meant the proposal failed to meet the council's development plan policies requiring high standards of urban and architectural design responding positively to local character and context.
