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 proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to the outlook of occupants of 63 and 67 Hafton Road, and 28 and 30 Hazelbank Road

What decided it

The proposal's forward and angled building line, combined with its material palette, would appear visually incongruous and cause unacceptable harm to the outlook of neighbouring properties, which could not be justified by the limited housing contribution of a single dwelling.
