What decided it
The combined effect of excessive bulk, scale, massing and incongruous materials would create overdevelopment harmful to the character and appearance of the conservation area setting and would cause unacceptable harm to neighbouring residential amenity through increased enclosure, loss of privacy and overlooking.
