Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the appeal site would be an appropriate location for the proposed development with particular regard to the effect on the character and appearance of the area
  • Whether the proposed development would provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to outdoor space and outlook

What decided it

The proposed dwelling would result in significant harm to the character and appearance of Windermere Avenue by appearing as a discordant, cramped form of development at odds with the spacious, verdant character of the area, failing to meet the requirements of Policy S3 for an appropriate location.

Plan policies cited: Policy S1, Policy S2, Policy S3, Policy S53, Policy HNP1, Hykeham Neighbourhood Plan Design Criteria Appendix 1 criterion 8
