Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to the siting, scale and design of the proposed dwelling
- Ecology and biodiversity
- The living conditions of the occupiers of Nos. 4 and 6 Latimer Close, with particular regard to outlook and privacy
- Whether the proposed development is acceptable in terms of water efficiency and carbon efficiency measures
What decided it
The proposed development's siting in a rear garden location with no street frontage presence conflicts fundamentally with the established pattern of street frontage residential development in the area and would be harmful to its character and appearance.
