What decided it
The proposal's failure to enhance and sensitively respond to existing character, combined with considerable negative effects on neighbouring residential amenity and deficient standards of accommodation, outweighed the benefits of providing new homes in an intensification area.
The benefits of providing new homes in an area identified for intensification were outweighed by the shortcomings of the proposal in terms of character and appearance, effects on neighbours, and standard of accommodation.
