Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area
  • Whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to internal layout and outlook

What decided it

The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by the cramped, high-density development that would be conspicuous and out of keeping with the spacious, verdant character of the surrounding area outweighed the modest benefits of providing three new family dwellings.
