Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, with particular regard to the length of the building frontage and the length, at the proposed height, of the rear wing
- Having regard to the loss of the bowling green on the site, whether or not a financial contribution towards facilities elsewhere locally, through a planning obligation, would be necessary or directly related to the proposed development
What decided it
The absence of any unacceptable harm to character and appearance, combined with the failure of the bowling green contribution to meet the CIL necessity tests, meant there was no sustainable basis to refuse the appeal.
