- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the appeal site and the surrounding area
What decided it
The significant massing and bulk of the proposed building would result in harm to the character and appearance of the site and surrounding area that could not be outweighed by the limited benefits of additional housing.
The limited benefits of providing three new residential units in a sustainable location and making efficient use of the site were outweighed by the significant harm to the character and appearance of the site and surrounding area.
