Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the site and area
- Whether the scheme would provide satisfactory living conditions for the existing and future residents, in terms of the level of private garden space which would be retained
What decided it
The proposal would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the house and area through its disproportionate scale, inappropriate design, and the enclosure of side garden adjoining a public footpath, which outweighed the special medical circumstances relied upon by the appellants.
