Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether or not the appearance of the proposed dwellings would be appropriate, with particular regard to the character and appearance of the area and the living conditions of occupants of neighbouring properties
- whether or not the proposed landscaping scheme would enable the appeal scheme to assimilate with its context
What decided it
The appearance of dwellings with third-floor roof spaces on the exposed edge of the site would create a large, domineering mass of built development that would be hugely jarring with the character and appearance of the area and could not be adequately mitigated by the proposed landscaping scheme.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy ENV3
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
