Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- The living conditions of nearby residents, with particular regard to external amenity space
- Whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants, with regard to external amenity space, safety and security
What decided it
The harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by the excessive bulk, massing, and forward positioning of the building, which would dominate the frontage and erode the open layout qualities of the area, outweighed the social and economic benefits of the development.
