Bell-Williamson J

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed dwelling on the character and appearance of the appeal site and the street scene
  • whether the proposed dwelling would provide adequate amenity space for future occupiers, and related to this the effect on the living conditions of the occupiers of the adjoining dwelling, with regard to privacy
  • whether the layout of the site would enable safe and secure pedestrian access

What decided it

The proposal represents unacceptable overdevelopment of the site that would materially harm the character and appearance of the street scene, fail to provide adequate amenity space, cause privacy harm to neighbours, and compromise pedestrian safety, with no material considerations outweighing these conflicts with the development plan.
