Summary

A detached house squeezed into the side garden of a semi-detached house in Elford was dismissed. It would appear cramped, fill a characterful gap, and share a sub-standard access with no on-site turning (DL ¶8, ¶11-14). The case was decided plan-led, with no S4 balance, on the first day of the new Framework (DL ¶4).
