Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • The living conditions of the occupiers of Nos 3, 5 and 7, with regard to outlook
  • Whether the proposal makes adequate provision for vehicle and cycle parking

What decided it

The proposal's harmful effect on the character and appearance of the area through its excessive height and disruption of the established roofscape rhythm, combined with unresolved parking provision deficiencies, meant it conflicted with the Development Plan with no material considerations indicating otherwise.

Plan policies cited: CS1, CS5, CS NPPF, CS9, DM01, DM17, D3, T5, T6.1
