Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed house on the character and appearance of the existing terrace of houses and surrounding area

What decided it

The proposed house, despite its contemporary design contrasting with the existing terrace, would have a clear style of its own that would complement rather than harm the integrity of the group and would add variety to the existing diverse character of the surroundings.
