Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The unacceptable adverse effect on the character and appearance of the area, which would cause the building to appear as a dominant and jarring feature out of place with the local street scene, outweighs the moderate social and economic benefits of housing delivery.
The moderate social and economic benefits of housing delivery were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the very heavy weight of the identified harm to character and appearance and policy conflicts
