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 proposed development would cause harm to the character and appearance of the area through its incongruous siting, constrained plot size, and limited outdoor amenity space, conflicting with the development plan policies requiring high-quality design that reflects local character.
