Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area with particular regard to whether or not it would result in an over-intensive use of the site
- whether or not the proposed development would provide adequate living conditions for its future occupiers with regard to light, outlook and outdoor amenity space
- whether or not it has been demonstrated that adequate bicycle storage would be provided for both the existing dwellings at the appeal site and the proposed development
What decided it
The proposed development would unduly harm the character and appearance of the area and fail to provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers with regard to light, outlook and outdoor amenity space, with these matters of significant weight outweighing the modest benefits of delivering one additional dwelling.
