Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the site and surrounding area

What decided it
The excessive scale of the development and its out-of-character appearance, combined with its overbearing impact on the outlook and living conditions of the neighbouring property at No 127 Burns Avenue, conflicted with development plan policies requiring development to respond to local distinctiveness and achieve high standards of amenity for adjacent users.
