Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposed development would provide suitable living conditions for future occupants in respect of outlook and daylight
- whether the proposed development would provide adequate garden space
- whether the proposed development would provide adequate sustainable drainage measures
- whether the proposed development would achieve a suitable level of sustainable construction
- the effect of the proposed development upon ecology and biodiversity, and whether the proposed development demonstrates satisfactory ecological enhancements
What decided it
The proposal would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the area by projecting in front of the established building line and appearing incongruous within the regular spatial pattern of the surrounding residential development, which could not be outweighed by the modest benefits offered.
