Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Radstock Conservation Area
- the effect of the proposal on highway safety, with particular regard to surface water
What decided it
The proposal would fail to preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Radstock Conservation Area due to its oppressive scale, height and materials, and the moderate public benefits would not outweigh this significant harm.
