Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the proposed vehicle access and parking arrangements on highway safety
  • whether an appropriate financial contribution would be secured with regard to sustainable transport improvements and highway works

What decided it

The proposed development would appear as an overly dominant feature due to its significant depth and massing, causing harm to the character and appearance of the area contrary to the development plan.
