Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the proposed access arrangement on the safety of vehicular and pedestrian traffic on Hung Road

What decided it

The proposed development would significantly harm the character and appearance of the area by appearing squeezed onto the site in conflict with the spacious and orderly arrangement of the planned estate, which outweighed the acceptable aspects of design and materials.

The acceptable design details and materials did not outweigh the significant harm to character and appearance caused by the building's close proximity to the highway boundary and conflict with the estate's spacious arrangement.
