Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounds, including the Woodcote Avenue Area of Special Local Character (ASLC)

What decided it

The proposal would erode the sense of openness and spaciousness that characterises the row of dwellings and the Area of Special Local Character, resulting in development that is discordant and incompatible with the character of the area.
