Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the supply of family homes within the locality
- whether the proposed development would adversely affect biodiversity and protected species
What decided it
The harm to character and appearance caused by the building's excessive scale, bulk and prominence in relation to the surrounding low-density residential context, combined with the loss of family housing and unresolved biodiversity concerns, meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan and the Framework did not weigh in its favour.
