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 cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the area through loss of open gaps and an incongruous design, combined with inadequate parking provision that would exacerbate existing highway safety issues.
