Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of the occupiers of 17 Elton Crescent with particular regard to light and outlook
What decided it
The proposal would harm the character and appearance of the area by introducing a detached dwelling that would fill the spacious gap between semi-detached properties and appear out of place, whereas the fallback permission for a side extension would better reflect local character and cause less harm.
