Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
  • whether it would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers in respect of private outdoor space
  • its effect on the living conditions of occupiers of 68 Castle Croft Road in terms of outlook

What decided it

The development would have a harmful effect on the character and appearance of the area by eroding openness and introducing an enclosed garden in a prominent location, and would fail to provide satisfactory living conditions due to poor quality private outdoor space for the 2 bedroom unit.
