Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- The living conditions of the occupiers of 2 Binks Yard, having regard to outlook
What decided it
The substantial harm to the character and appearance of the surrounding area caused by the increased scale, height, flat roof and incongruous materials, combined with the significant adverse effect on the outlook and living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, could not be justified by the appellant's stated benefits.
The potential benefits of improved accessibility, storage, and working conditions were outweighed by the significant adverse impacts on the character and appearance of the area and the high standard of amenity of neighbouring residents.
