Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed dwelling on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of existing and future occupiers with particular regard to overlooking and the provision of external space
- whether the proposed dwelling would include sufficient details of drainage provision
What decided it
The cumulative conflict with the development plan taken as a whole, particularly the substantial erosion of the street's enclosed character through parking provision and the inadequate external amenity space for future occupiers, outweighed the limited benefits of an accessible location and efficient land use.
