Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to external amenity space
- the effect of the proposal on protected species
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by the two-storey scale, massing and design of the proposed buildings relative to the adjacent single-storey bungalows and the subdivision of the plot into narrower parcels, which would substantially outweigh the limited benefits of the scheme.
