Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • Whether appropriate living conditions would be provided for future occupiers of the proposed dwelling with particular regard to internal and external space

What decided it

The small plot size and constrained layout would result in a cramped appearance harmful to character and appearance, and would fail to provide adequate internal and external space to meet design standards and living condition requirements.
