Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • Whether there would be suitable pedestrian, wheelchair and vehicular access including servicing vehicle access

What decided it

The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by the incongruous roof form and design, which failed to respect the prevailing suburban character and local distinctiveness, outweighed the benefits of providing additional housing.
