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 introduction of a fourth floor would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the area by creating a building of excessive scale that conflicts with the prevailing character of Old Hall Road and would be in stark contrast with neighbouring properties.
