Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effects of the development on the character and appearance of the area and upon the living conditions of existing and future occupiers of neighbouring properties, having particular regard to the effects upon No. 2 Broad Reach

What decided it

The combination of the proposal's increased building mass, elevated positioning, proximity to boundaries, and design detailing would make it incoherent and domineering in its setting and would cause unacceptable harm to the living conditions and privacy of the neighbouring property at No. 2 Broad Reach.
