Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers with particular regard to privacy
- whether the proposal makes adequate provision for the storage of cycles
What decided it
The significant and demonstrable harm to the character and appearance of the area, caused by the discordant contemporary design approach that would interrupt the strong architectural rhythm of the street, outweighed the moderate benefits of housing delivery and limited economic benefits.
The moderate benefit of modest housing delivery and limited economic benefits was significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the harm to character and appearance of the area.
