Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
  • whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for the future occupiers having specific regard to the size of the dwelling and the quantity of outdoor amenity space
  • whether the proposal would make adequate provisions to reduce carbon emissions

What decided it

The proposed dwelling would be an incongruous feature at odds with the pattern and layout of residential development locally, diminishing the sense of spaciousness at the corner and detracting from the character and appearance of the area.
