Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host building and its surroundings
What decided it
The proposed development would create an ungainly design that is overly bulky, ill-proportioned and out of keeping with its surroundings, reducing the sense of space between adjoining properties and undermining the open character of the layout, thereby conflicting with national and local planning policies on design quality and character.
