Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to private amenity space and boundary treatment
- whether the proposed development would make suitable provision for trees
- the effect of the proposed development on pedestrian safety
- whether the proposed development would create an accessible dwelling with regard to the relevant policies of the development plan
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of the existing and proposed dwellings, with particular regard to overlooking
What decided it
The cumulative harm to character and appearance through loss of private amenity space for the host dwelling, combined with unresolved issues regarding tree provision, pedestrian safety, and accessible dwelling standards, meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan with no material considerations to outweigh this harm.
