Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Appeal A ground (a): effect of development on character and appearance of surrounding area and living conditions of nearby residents with particular reference to privacy, noise and disturbance
Appeal B: effect of proposed development on character and appearance of surrounding area, living conditions of nearby residents with particular reference to noise and disturbance, and sustainability and carbon emissions

What decided it

The development fails to meet the highest architectural and urban design quality standards required by Policy LP1 and would unacceptably harm character and appearance, whilst also failing to demonstrate acceptable living conditions for neighbouring residents and adequate sustainability measures.
