Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the street scene
- The effect of the proposed new crossover on highway safety and the provision of safe parking
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring residential occupiers in respect of its potential to result in a loss of light, loss of privacy and visual intrusion
What decided it
The significant harm to character and appearance of the street scene caused by the scale, form and design of the extended dwelling, combined with harm to highway and pedestrian safety from the inadequate parking provision, were compelling objections that outweighed any other considerations.
