Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The proposal would harmfully contrast with the low-density, semi-detached character of the area through its creation of a terraced form with narrow plot width and intensified site use, conflicting with Development Plan policies on character and local distinctiveness.
