Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effects of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area and the settings of nearby heritage assets
  • whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to amenity space, outlook and privacy
  • whether the proposal would comply with national planning policy which seeks to steer new development away from areas at the highest risk of flooding
  • the effect of the proposal on the health and life expectancy of nearby trees
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of 102 South End, with particular regard to outlook

What decided it

The proposal's incongruous design and form would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the surrounding area and heritage setting, combined with inadequate living conditions for future occupiers and failure to comply with flood risk policy.
