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 adjacent occupiers, with particular regard to noise, vibration and light

What decided it

The proposal would harmfully alter the tranquil rear garden character of the area by introducing an isolated backland dwelling that conflicts with the established road-fronting development pattern, and this harm to character and appearance could not be outweighed by the moderate social and economic benefits.
