Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- The effect on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers
What decided it
The physical linkage of Buildings C and D via platform, balconies and external staircases created an intensive form of development incompatible with the character of the area and raised unacceptable privacy impacts on neighbouring residents, but these could be remedied by condition requiring removal of the linking features.
