Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the semi-detached pair of Nos. 14 & 16 Acland Crescent and the street scene of the road

What decided it

The proposed extension fails to retain the required minimum 1m side space to the boundary as required by Local Plan Policy Q11 Section H, and would create a jarring terraced appearance and loss of symmetry that conflicts with design policies and guidance.
