Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, with due regard to a non-designated heritage asset
  • Parking provision and highway safety
  • The living conditions of future residents with regard to amenity space
  • The provision of cycle and refuse storage
  • Whether sufficient evidence has been submitted in respect of fire risk

What decided it

The significant harm to the character and appearance of the suburban area and the great harm to the setting of the non-designated heritage asset of Emmanuel Church, which could not be justified by the limited benefits of the proposal.
