Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of future occupiers with particular regard to the size of gardens, privacy and outlook
  • Whether or not the proposal would make a suitable provision of affordable housing

What decided it

The poor design of the scheme in terms of layout and elevational treatment, which would not reflect the character and appearance of existing residential development and would conflict with the development plan and National Design Guide, outweighed the benefit of delivering 9 new homes.
