Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposal would harm the character and appearance of the area by virtue of its height, scale, cluttered design and mixed materials that would be discordant and incongruous with the surrounding traditional residential built environment, conflicting with development plan policies requiring design to be in keeping with local character and contribute positively to local distinctiveness.
Plan policies cited: Policy 17 of the Central Lancashire Adopted Core Strategy Adopted July 2012, Policy AD1(a) of the Preston Local Plan 2012-2026 Site Allocations & Development Management Policies Adopted July 2015, Policy EN9 of the Preston Local Plan 2012-2026 Site Allocations & Development Management Policies Adopted July 2015
