Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the proposal would provide adequate living conditions for the occupiers of 45 North Road and the future occupiers of the proposed new dwelling, with specific regard to external space
What decided it
The harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by the forward positioning of the dwelling relative to the established building line and street pattern outweighed the limited benefits of providing one additional dwelling.
The adverse impacts of granting planning permission on character and appearance outweighed the proposed benefits of housing provision and associated economic and social benefits, particularly given the Framework's requirement that housing provision should not come at the cost of good design.
