Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
What decided it
The proposed building's complex roof forms, excessive rear building line depth, and substantial side dormers would result in unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the surrounding area that cannot be outweighed by the modest housing and economic benefits.
