Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • The living conditions of the occupiers of 111 Elm Low Road, with particular regard to loss of light and privacy

What decided it

The existence of an extant planning permission for a single dwelling on the site as a fallback position, combined with the finding that the proposed semi-detached dwellings would not cause materially different impacts on character, appearance or neighbouring amenity, justified allowing the appeal.
