Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposal would dilute the strident arrised roof form which is the dominant design element of the building and would substantially undermine its distinctive contribution to the street scene, conflicting with development plan policies requiring high standards of design that conserve local character and distinctiveness.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- CP1CP12DM1
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
