Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether prior approval should be granted having regard to the external appearance of the building
  • Whether prior approval should be granted having regard to transport and highways impacts of the development

What decided it

The proposed development would fail to assimilate sympathetically with the host building and its surroundings due to the height increase and resulting effect on external appearance, which would outweigh the benefits of delivering new dwellings and supporting housing supply.
