Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development upon the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the development upon the living conditions of the occupiers of No. 66 Briony Avenue in respect of outlook
What decided it
The excessive width of the proposed dwelling reducing the characteristic gaps between properties, combined with its overbearing impact on the neighbouring property's outlook and amenity space, represents poor design that would detract from the character and appearance of the area and prejudice neighbours' living conditions.
