Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The proposal would appear as a significantly more dominant built form than its shorter neighbour Brosna, creating an incongruous and unacceptable transition in roofscape that would harm the character and appearance of the area.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy HS11 of the Wirral Unitary Development Plan 2000

How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
