Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of its surroundings
  • the living conditions of neighbouring residents and future residents of the proposed dwelling with particular reference to visual impact, internal space and outlook

What decided it

The proposed dwelling's design would cause visual harm to an attractive street character and would create unacceptable living conditions for both neighbouring residents through visual dominance and for future residents through inadequate outlook.
