Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of 12 Mid Cross Lane in respect of outlook
  • whether or not there would be adequate provision for parking
  • the effect of the proposal on protected species

What decided it

The unacceptable harm to character and appearance caused by the excessively bulky, top-heavy and incongruous design of the proposed dwelling, combined with harm to neighbouring outlook and inadequate parking provision, outweighed any other considerations.
