Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the street scene
- Whether the proposed new dwellings would provide satisfactory living conditions for their occupiers with particular regard to internal space and garden areas
What decided it
The significant harm caused by the form, proportions and design of the proposed south and east elevations to the character and appearance of the street scene, combined with the failure to provide satisfactory internal living conditions due to poor ground floor layouts and non-compliance with space standards, outweighed the benefits of providing two additional dwellings.
