Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether prior approval should be granted having regard to the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including the appeal property
What decided it
The proposed increase in height to five storeys would make the appeal property much taller than any other building in the street scene and would create a bulky, imposing development in a prominent corner location that would be unduly harmful to the character and appearance of the area.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy LP26
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
