Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- The living conditions of adjacent occupants with particular regard to outlook
What decided it
The proposal's large scale, massing, and use of contextually inappropriate materials would conflict with the development plan's design requirements and cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area and the living conditions of adjacent residents.
The benefits of additional housing, office space, energy efficiency, and economic stimulus were outweighed by the harm to character and appearance of the area and the living conditions of adjacent occupants through visual dominance and loss of openness.
