Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area.
What decided it
The proposed development would not represent a place-specific design response and would unacceptably harm the character and appearance of the area through its dominant bulk and mass in an elevated position, conflicting with development plan policies requiring high quality design responsive to local distinctiveness.
Plan policies cited: Policy SI12, Policy SI13, Policy SP6.4, Policy DM25.3, Policy D3, Policy D4, Policy SP4.1, Policy SP4.2, Policy DM10
