Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposal on highway safety
- Whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants, with regard to the provision of private amenity space
What decided it
The proposal would have an unacceptable impact on the character and appearance of the area by eroding the sense of spaciousness at the prominent corner plot and creating a cramped development, combined with highway safety concerns arising from the complex parking manoeuvres required.
