Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surroundings
- Whether the proposed development would provide a satisfactory standard of living conditions for future residents
What decided it
The poor design, unsympathetic character, and failure to provide satisfactory living conditions due to the cramped backland location and poor relationship with parking and access outweighed the modest housing contribution.
applying Policies S4 and L3, the adverse effects of the scheme weigh heavily against the benefits of providing two additional flats, and the planning objections very clearly outweigh its benefits
