Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effects of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the appeal property and wider area, and upon the living conditions at 5 Thorndike Avenue, with particular regard to visual impact

What decided it

The proposal would fail to respect the visual character and local distinctiveness of the surrounding built form and would fail to display the high quality of design required by the development plan policies, with the visual harm outweighing the appellant's family needs.
