Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

- Whether the proposed development would provide suitable living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to garden space
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area arising from the cramped, incongruous scale and massing of two dwellings on a constrained plot substantially and demonstrably outweighed the modest housing benefits.
The modest housing benefits and economic and social benefits from construction and occupation were substantially outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance of the area
