Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area
  • whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers in relation to the provision of amenity space

What decided it

The loss of the amenity space fronting the site, which makes a positive contribution to the open character and appearance of the area, combined with the inadequate private garden provision for future occupiers, resulted in harm that was not outweighed by other material considerations.
