Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The proposal would significantly harm the character and appearance of the perimeter block typology by introducing a detached dwelling that would appear as a stand-alone development incompatible with the established residential pattern and the essential contribution of rear gardens to the area's character.
