Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect upon the character and appearance of the area
  • Whether the proposal would satisfactorily safeguard archaeological assets
  • The effect on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to sunlight, daylight, outlook and privacy
  • Whether the proposal would result in an unacceptable impact on highway safety, with particular regard to servicing and coach parking

What decided it

The eight storey height proposed would be excessively dominant and visually intrusive in this location, resulting in significant harm to character and appearance that outweighed the economic benefits of the development.

The considerable economic benefits of new hotel accommodation, job creation and potential crime reduction were clearly outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance and living conditions of neighbouring residents.
