Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the proposed development would provide adequate living conditions, with particular regard to external private amenity space
- The effect of the proposed development on highway safety
What decided it
The proposal would harm the character and appearance of the area through its substantial scale and bulk appearing cramped and unsympathetic to surrounding dwellings, and would fail to provide suitable external private amenity space for future occupants.
No balancing exercise was undertaken; the proposal conflicted with the development plan taken as a whole with no other considerations to outweigh this finding.
