Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and the area
  • The convenience of highway users, with particular regard to parking provision

What decided it

The scheme would not constitute good design and would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the host property and the semi-detached pair, which outweighs its modest benefits.
