Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to the height, scale and massing of the proposed building and the effect on existing trees
- the suitability of the proposed access arrangements, with particular regard to pedestrian safety
- the suitability of the proposed layout in relation to cycle storage, refuse collection and fire safety
What decided it
The proposed development would adversely affect the character and appearance of the area through its disproportionate massing and loss of trees, and would create an unsafe environment for pedestrians within the site due to the narrow access arrangements, contrary to development plan policies.
