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 development on the integrity of European Sites.

What decided it

The refined design of the proposed development, which responds well to the site's prominent location and integrates sympathetically with surrounding character, combined with the secured mitigation for European Sites through the RAMS contribution, outweighs the minor shortfall in parking provision.
