Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the principle of the proposal
- the impact of the proposal upon the character of the area
- the impact of the proposal upon neighbouring amenity with regard to overbearing impact, sense of enclosure, noise, and disturbance
- sustainable transport and highways impacts
- refuse and recycling provision
What decided it
The proposal failed to demonstrate evidenced demand or identified need for the proposed office or medical consulting room use as required by local plan policies, and the increased height would result in unacceptable overbearing impact on neighbouring amenity.
