Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the external appearance of the building
- the transport and highway impacts of the development
- the impact on the amenity of the occupiers of the existing building, with regard to internal space and overbearing impact, as well as neighbouring premises, with regard to overbearing impact
What decided it
The proposal would have a substantial harmful effect on the external appearance of the building by creating an overly dominant structure that relates poorly to the prevailing height and form of neighbouring properties and the overall streetscene.
