Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on street parking and highway safety
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area
What decided it
The proposal would cause harm to highway safety through increased on-street parking pressure and harm to the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area through the rear dormer, which together were not outweighed by the benefits identified.
