Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the locality
- The effect of the development on highway safety
What decided it
The proposal would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the locality through excessive massing and loss of visual references to the original building proportions, which was not outweighed by the neutral position on highway safety.
The neutral finding on highway safety did not outweigh the identified harm to character and appearance of the locality.
