Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether or not the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants with regard to private amenity space provision
- whether or not appropriate provision is made for refuse storage and collection
What decided it
The significant harm to character and appearance caused by the discordant roof design and the failure to provide the minimum required private amenity space for the three-bedroom dwelling collectively outweighed the moderate benefits of additional housing supply.
