Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the property and wider area
  • the living conditions of the occupants of the property, with regard to outlook and access to light
  • parking and highway safety

What decided it

The harmful effect on the character and appearance of the property and surrounding area, particularly the disruption to the balanced appearance of the semi-detached pair and the cramped appearance resulting from reduced visual separation from the neighbouring property.
