Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host property and area
- the effect of the proposal on the safe and efficient operation of the local highway network with regard to parking provision
What decided it
The proposal failed on two independent grounds: its harmful impact on character and appearance due to excessive height and massing relative to neighbours, and the absence of a secured planning obligation to prevent parking permit applications, which would harm highway safety and efficiency.
