Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on (a) the character and appearance of the area; and (b) the living conditions of the occupiers of 155 Westrow Drive, with particular regard to outlook and levels of daylight

What decided it

The proposal would harm the character and appearance of the area by reducing the valuable visual separation between dwellings that contributes to the street scene's open feel and attractive consistency, contrary to the development plan.
