Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- parking provision
- the living conditions of future occupants of the development with regards to private external space
What decided it
The proposed development would have an unacceptable negative effect on the character and appearance of the area by creating a building significantly taller than its neighbours and disrupting the street scene, which could not be justified by the modest housing benefits.
