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 facilities for waste and cycle storage

What decided it

The proposed development would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area by introducing a bulky, dominant addition to a prominently sited building that already exceeds the height of surrounding properties, and this harm is not outweighed by the modest benefits of providing three additional residential units.
