Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the appeal proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- Whether the appeal proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers of the proposed dwelling and existing occupiers of No.19 Cromwell Road in respect of the provision of private amenity space
What decided it
The significantly detrimental effect on character and appearance through an awkward, cramped density of development combined with inadequate private amenity space for both existing and future occupiers outweighs the modest benefits and means the proposal is contrary to the up-to-date development plan.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- COM01GEN02COM03
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 130Paragraph 134
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
