Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties, in respect of light, privacy, outlook and parking
  • the living conditions of the future occupiers of the proposed dwelling, in respect of private amenity space and parking

What decided it

The proposed development would adversely affect the character and appearance of the surrounding area and the living conditions of both neighbouring occupiers and future occupiers due to poor design, lack of private amenity space, and significant massing impacts, contrary to the development plan and NPPF.
