Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of existing occupants of 71 Wyken Croft with regards to outlook and light
- The effect of the proposed parking and access arrangements on highway users
- The effect of the proposal on the green infrastructure network
What decided it
The cumulative harm to character and appearance, living conditions of neighbours, inadequate parking and access, and loss of green infrastructure significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits of one dwelling when assessed against the Framework as a whole under the tilted balance.
