Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the site would be a suitable location for basement flats with regard to flooding
- Whether the proposal would make adequate provision for affordable housing
What decided it
The design of the building, particularly the rear elevation, would harm the character and appearance of the area and be a lasting blight on the local area, which outweighs the benefits of the scheme.
