Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effects of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • whether the proposal would make adequate provision for drainage and flood risk
  • the effects of the proposal on the living conditions of residents of 65 Orchard Avenue with regard to outlook
  • the effects of the proposal on biodiversity
  • whether there is a need for a contribution towards the provision of sustainable transport measures

What decided it

The proposal would harm the character and appearance of the area through its excessive scale and massing markedly at odds with the surrounding pattern of development, and failed to demonstrate adequate provision for surface water drainage and flood risk management.
