Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposed development on highway safety, with particular regard to the provision of adequate off-street parking
- whether the living conditions of future occupiers would be acceptable, with particular regard to the provision of internal living space
What decided it
The combination of harm to character and appearance through loss of spacious corner plot character and poor integration with the building line, together with inadequate parking arrangements creating highway safety concerns, outweighed any neutral benefits.
