Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The unacceptable effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, which would conflict with the development plan and could not be outweighed by the benefits of hotel provision.

The harm to character and appearance brings the scheme into conflict with the development plan when read as a whole, and there are no other considerations, including the Framework and the benefits of hotel provision, which outweigh this conflict.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy LP26 of the Redbridge Local Plan 2015-2030Policy D3 of the London Plan
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 11
