Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the building and the locality
- The living conditions of existing and future occupiers with regards to the provision of private garden space
- Whether the vehicular access and parking layout is appropriate for the proposed development, with regards to highway safety
- Whether Flood Risk Assessment provides sufficient details of escape routes during a flood event and adequately deals with surface water when assessed against the Development Plan policies
What decided it
The proposal would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the building and locality through excessive visual bulk and massing, would leave inadequate private garden space for future occupiers, and would not provide safe escape routes during a flood event.
