Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area.

What decided it

The stark contrast between the proposed black-framed openings and black cladding against the established buff brick and white/darker frame palette, combined with poor proportioning of fenestration, would cause the development to dominate and visually compete with neighbouring dwellings to the detriment of the area's established character.
