Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to outlook and loss of light
What decided it
The proposal's incongruous scale and bulk, rising to four storeys and filling substantially more of the site width, would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the surrounding area and to the living conditions of neighbouring properties through loss of outlook and overbearing impact.

- Development plan policies
- BE1DMHB11DMHB12
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 130
