Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposed development on highway safety
- Whether the proposal would provide adequate living conditions for future occupants with particular reference to amenity space, outlook and privacy
What decided it
The contrasting roof forms creating an awkward and jarring appearance at the elevated and prominent location of the site would result in unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area, outweighing the modest benefits of the development.
