Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The specific characteristics of the site, including the existing irregularity of the building line, varying design details of properties within the row, and gaps retained between the appeal dwelling and neighbouring properties, meant the proposal would not create an uncharacteristic terracing effect despite not meeting the SPD's 1.5m set-back guidance.
