Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed front extension and dormer on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposed rear extension on the living conditions of the occupiers of Nos 11, 12a and 14 Fairfield Crescent with particular reference to outlook and sunlight
- the effect of the proposed parking arrangements on the safety of pedestrians, cyclists and drivers using Fairfield Crescent
What decided it
The material harm caused by the development to character and appearance, neighbouring living conditions, and highway safety outweighed the limited benefits, with no material considerations sufficient to overcome the development plan conflict.
