Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development proposed on the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area
What decided it
The proposal would be harmful to the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area through its excessive bulk, increased height, uncharacteristic crown roof design, and cumulative visual effects, conflicting with local plan policies requiring high quality design that complements the locality.
Plan policies cited: Policy BD1, Policy DMP1
