Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposal on the setting of the host property, and the living conditions of the occupiers with regard to outlook and garden space
- The effect on the living conditions of the occupiers of No 5 Rother Croft with regard to privacy and sunlight
What decided it
The harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by the incongruous semi-detached layout and extensive open parking frontage, combined with unmitigated harm to the privacy and sunlight of No 5 Rother Croft, outweighed the modest housing contribution.
