Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the area
  • highway safety

What decided it

The proposed dwelling would be discordant to the character and appearance of the area through its contemporary design and materials in sharp contrast to its surroundings, combined with the failure to demonstrate that safe vehicular access could be secured due to the second parking bay lying outside the application site.
