Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The impact of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the area and street scene

What decided it

The proposal's prominent forward position at a corner junction, combined with its scale and the resulting loss of openness and views that currently contribute positively to the character of the area, makes it overly dominant and harmful to the street scene.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy DM2
National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 135
