Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effects of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it
The proposed development would harm the character and appearance of the area through its large, boxy, flat-roofed form that would visually jar with the host property and appear incongruous from the public domain and surrounding dwellings.

- Development plan policies
- Policy CDMP3
