Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of occupiers at Nos 48-54 New Street, with particular regard to privacy
What decided it
The substantial harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by the incongruous siting and orientation of the apartment block, which would conflict with the development plan and material considerations.
The limited benefits of housing provision and construction employment were outweighed by the substantial harm to character and appearance and conflict with the development plan.
