Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect on the character and appearance of the site and area

What decided it

The proposed dwelling would not unacceptably harm the character and appearance of the site or streetscene because it would reflect the design of the adjoining house and sit comfortably within the existing terrace context despite the terrace's existing awkward mass and form.
