Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effects of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- The living conditions of future occupiers of Number 1 Lynwood Drive with specific regard to internal floorspace
What decided it
The proposed development would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area through its incongruous roof form and excessive massing, and would provide substandard internal floorspace failing to meet minimum space standards for future occupiers.
