Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether sufficient information has been submitted to assess the impact of the proposal on biodiversity
What decided it
The proposal fails on two independent grounds: harmful effect on character and appearance due to poor design quality, and insufficient ecological information to assess impacts on protected species.
