Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area

What decided it

The proposed development would significantly harm the character and appearance of the area by filling the spacious gaps between dwellings and creating a bulky structure inconsistent with the prevailing development pattern, which conflicts with Core Policy 57 and the Creating Places guidance.
