Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • the living conditions of neighbouring properties, with regard to outlook

What decided it

The proposal's design and positioning would allow it to read as part of the established cul-de-sac development rather than appearing isolated or incongruous, thereby maintaining acceptable character and appearance and neighbouring living conditions.
