Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • Whether the proposal would include suitable arrangements for surface water drainage

What decided it

The proposal would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area by being unduly dominant in the street scene and diminishing openness at the corner plot, conflicting with the development plan.
