Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- The parking, drop-off, servicing and delivery arrangements
- Whether or not there is appropriate cycle parking provision
What decided it
The substantial and long-lasting harm to character and appearance caused by a six-storey building that would be significantly taller than surrounding properties and inappropriate for the location outweighed the housing and community benefits of the scheme.
