Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

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

What decided it

The subdivision of the spacious corner plot and erection of a new dwelling would harm the character and appearance of the area by appearing cramped and contrived, unbalancing the existing semi-detached pair and conflicting with the openness that characterises the corner properties.
