Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of occupiers of 55 Slack Road and residential apartments on Bankwood Court, with particular regard to privacy and light
- whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to the provision of suitable outdoor amenity space
What decided it
The proposed development would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area through its incongruous contemporary design, three-storey scale, and cramped siting, which conflicts with the development plan and cannot be outweighed by housing or economic benefits.
