Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring dwellings with particular regard to outlook
- whether or not the proposal would provide adequate cycle storage
- whether or not living conditions for future occupiers of the development would be acceptable with particular regard to the provision of amenity space
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by the building's bulk, scale and cramped appearance on the site, combined with significant harm to neighbouring living conditions, outweighed the housing benefits of the proposal.
