Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • whether the proposal would make adequate provision for parking
  • whether the proposal would include adequate measures to ensure fire safety

What decided it

The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area and the non-designated heritage asset, combined with inadequate information on fire safety measures, resulted in conflict with the development plan that material considerations did not overcome.

Framework references: 203

Plan policies cited: Policy DM10, Policy DM18, Policy DM29, Policy DM30, Policy DM4.3, Policy D3, Policy D12, Policy HC1, Policy T4
