Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the development on the living conditions of near neighbours, with reference to noise and vibration

What decided it

The development conflicts with the development plan by failing to preserve or enhance character and appearance through poor material choice and prominent duct positioning, and by failing to demonstrate that noise and vibration impacts on neighbouring residents are acceptable.
