Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the area
  • whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to private amenity space

What decided it

The proposal would appear as a highly discordant dwelling form incongruous to the prevailing pattern of residential development and would not provide acceptable living conditions due to the impractical layout of the private amenity space.

Plan policies cited: Policy SP1, Policy DM1
