Development: residential · Minor Dwellings
Inspector: Billings C

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
whether the layout of the proposed parking areas would be adequate, having regard to the circulation space around them, to meet the needs of the future occupiers of the new dwellings

What decided it

The proposed development would be harmful to the character and appearance of the surrounding area due to its cramped form, continuous two-storey scale, and prominent shared driveway, conflicting with the spacious, low-density character of Manor Green.
