Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of future residents having regard to outlook, privacy, layout and amenity space
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the proposal makes suitable provision for car and cycle parking having regard to road user's safety
What decided it
The proposal would result in an unacceptably poor quality living environment for future residents due to inadequate outlook, privacy and useable amenity space, combined with harmful effects on the character and appearance of the area through plot subdivision and the incongruous use of a secondary outbuilding as a main dwelling.
