Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether prior approval should be granted having regard to the external appearance of the building
  • Whether prior approval should be granted having regard to transport and highways impacts of the development

What decided it

The external appearance of the building would fail to assimilate sympathetically with its surroundings due to the awkward and visually jarring height difference created by the development standing nearly two full storeys above its neighbours in the terrace.
