Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development on a) the character and appearance of the area and b) the living conditions of occupiers at 3 Ring Road, with particular regard to outlook and privacy

What decided it

The harm to the character and appearance of the area, afforded significant weight given the importance placed on good design in local and national planning policy, outweighed the limited benefits of the proposal.

The limited benefits of providing a family dwelling in an accessible location with improved energy efficiency and biodiversity enhancements did not outweigh the significant harm to the character and appearance of the area.
