Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • the living conditions of future occupiers of the proposed dwelling with respect to internal and external living space and existing occupiers of 2 Minster Drive with respect to outlook

What decided it

The proposed dwelling would be incongruous in its prominent junction location with a smaller plot than surrounding properties, reducing the area's spacious character, and would result in unacceptable living conditions through poor outlook for future occupiers and significant loss of outlook for existing occupiers of the adjacent property.
