Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effects of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, in particular the streetscene
  • The safety of other highway users

What decided it

The unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the surrounding area caused by the incongruous design of an independent single storey flat-roofed dwelling and the cramped appearance created by subdividing the curtilage outweighed the absence of significant highway safety harm.
