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 cause significant and long-lasting harm to the character and appearance of the area through its incongruous design, narrow proportions, and roof form that would disrupt the established uniformity of the terrace, and this harm would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited benefits of providing one new dwelling.
The harm to character and appearance, ascribed significant weight, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the social and economic benefits of one new dwelling, which were assessed as time and scale limited
