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 proposal would introduce a detached dwelling in an incongruous position among semi-detached properties, subdividing the plot and infilling the gap between neighbouring dwellings in a manner that would appear cramped and contrived, causing significant harm to the character and appearance of the area that outweighs the limited housing benefit.
