“various other local services and facilities could also”

Summary

Outline proposal for one backland house in the rear garden of an end-terrace on Brackley Square, reached via the side garage space. Dismissed. Shared, cramped pedestrian/vehicle access, no demonstrated emergency access and the unavoidable loss of a prominent TPO oak breached DP3 principles without clear justification, so DP3(3) directed refusal; that engaged S4(2)(c) and the small benefits were substantially outweighed.
