Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect on the character and appearance of the area
  • The living conditions of the occupants of neighbouring residential properties with particular reference to outlook

What decided it

The building's large scale, visual prominence, proximity to neighbouring residential properties and contrast with its surroundings cause unacceptable harm to character and appearance and to neighbouring living conditions, conflicting with the development plan.
