Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposed development would be visually discordant and overly prominent due to its shape, height, tiered balconies and flat roof dormers, conflicting with the traditional character and sense of maturity of Oldfield Way and Policy HS11 of the Wirral Unitary Development Plan.
The modernisation benefits and enhanced family living accommodation to the appellant were outweighed by the harmful effect on the character and appearance of the area and conflict with the Development Plan.
Plan policies cited: Policy HS11 of the Wirral Unitary Development Plan (2000)
