Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the appeal building and surrounding area
- The effect of the proposal on living conditions of future occupiers with regards to outlook, privacy, amenity space, noise and disturbance
- The effect of the proposals on flooding
- Whether the proposal would contribute to local housing need
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan across multiple issues—character and appearance, living conditions, flood risk assessment, and housing need—with no material considerations outweighing these harms.
