Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular reference to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The cramped layout dominated by parking and vehicular circulation, combined with the narrow driveway causing considerable noise and disturbance to neighbouring occupiers, outweighed the modest benefits of providing two new dwellings.
