Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • whether the development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers with regard to external private amenity space

What decided it

The subdivision of the plot and introduction of a separate dwelling would materially harm the established pattern of development and character of the area, and the inadequate external private amenity space would fail to provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers.
