Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area with particular regard to the subdivision of the rear garden
- Whether the proposal would be appropriately serviced with specific regard to refuse storage
- Whether or not acceptable living conditions would be provided for future occupiers
What decided it
The proposal fails on three independent grounds: unacceptable impact on character and appearance through garden subdivision, impractical refuse servicing arrangements, and inadequate living conditions due to harmful horizontal stacking of incompatible uses.
