Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the scale and nature of the proposal on the character and appearance of the riverbank in a Waterside Open Space adjoining Whitworth Crescent

What decided it

The removal of the disproportionately large ferry combined with the imposition of a condition restricting use to private purposes only, together with comprehensive ecological mitigation conditions, rendered the proposal acceptable in character and appearance terms and compliant with development plan policies.
