Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • Highway safety

What decided it

The proposal would result in a disjointed and visually intrusive combination of roof formats that would be detrimentally harmful to the character and appearance of the area, conflicting with the development plan.

Although the proposal complied with highway safety and parking policy, the harm to character and appearance arising from the disjointed combination of roof formats outweighed this, and the conflict with the development plan was decisive.
