Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- The provision of adequate outdoor amenity space for occupants of the existing Rila Lodge flats
What decided it
The siting and massing of the proposed dwelling would be harmful to the character and appearance of the area by introducing a substantial structure into a spacious garden setting, conflicting with design policies DMP1 and BD1, and the uncertainty over amenity space provision would adversely affect existing residents' living conditions contrary to Policy BH13.
Plan policies cited: Policy DMP1, Policy BD1, Policy BH13, Policy D6
