Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the external appearance of the building
- the highway and transport impacts, with particular regard to whether or not the development would provide car-free housing
What decided it
The proposed development would cause unacceptable harm to the external appearance of the building by introducing a four-storey structure that would be incongruous and dominant in an area predominantly characterised by two and three storey buildings, thereby failing to comply with Condition A.2.1(e) of the GPDO.
