Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- whether acceptable living conditions would be provided for occupiers of the proposal with particular regard to outlook and private outdoor space
- whether or not the proposal would be acceptable in terms of fire safety
- whether an affordable housing contribution is required having regard to the requirements of the development plan and national policy
What decided it
The proposal would have a significantly harmful effect on the character and appearance of the area and would not provide suitable living conditions for occupiers, conflicting with the development plan with no material considerations to indicate otherwise.
