Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area

What decided it

The proposal would harm the character and appearance of the surrounding area by introducing a separate residential unit in the rear garden contrary to the established pattern of development, and this harm is not outweighed by the limited benefit of providing an additional home.
