- Ollerenshaw M
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to external amenity space
- whether a legal agreement to prevent occupiers from applying for parking permits is necessary
What decided it
The proposal would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the area through its prominent corner position, forward-stepping ground floor, and detached form that conflicts with the established pattern of terraced and semi-detached development, combined with failure to provide adequate external amenity space for future occupiers.
