Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed additional storeys on the external appearance of the host building
What decided it
The proposed two additional storeys would cause significant harm to the external appearance of the host building by shifting its visual emphasis to the vertical and creating a jarring addition that conflicts with the prevailing lower-rise massing of the surrounding area.
