Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effects of the development upon the character and appearance of the host building and the area
  • Whether appropriate living conditions would be provided for the residential occupiers of the appeal site with particular reference to their private internal and outside space
  • Whether appropriate provision would be made for waste and recycling
  • The provision made for biodiversity enhancement

What decided it

The development conflicts with the development plan taken as a whole on all four main issues—character and appearance, living conditions, waste and recycling, and biodiversity enhancement—with no material considerations of sufficient weight to outweigh these harms.
