Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the dwellings on the character and appearance of the surrounding area including whether the proposal would result in overdevelopment of the site
  • The effect of the proposed dwellings on the living conditions of No 149 High Street in respect of sense of enclosure and overbearing impact on the rear garden area
  • Whether the proposed dwellings would have appropriate cycle parking provision, due to the location of the cycle parking at the rear

What decided it

The proposed dwellings would have a harmful effect on the character and appearance of the surrounding area through overdevelopment and would create an unacceptable overbearing impact and sense of enclosure to the neighbouring property, in conflict with local plan policies.

Plan policies cited: Policy 55, Policy 56, Policy 57, Policy 82, Appendix L
