Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect on the living conditions of both the occupiers of existing property No 57 Greenside and the future residents of the proposed dwelling, in terms of the quality of the private garden areas proposed
  • Whether the scheme would secure satisfactory provision of off-road parking for the occupiers of No 57 Greenside

What decided it

The cumulative harm to character and appearance, inadequate quality of private garden space for future residents, and unacceptable highway safety impacts from the parking arrangement outweighed the limited economic and housing benefits of the scheme.
