Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the amenity of neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The proposal would cause unacceptable visual harm to the character and appearance of the area through the introduction of substantial timber structures that would dominate and obstruct public views along the seafront, conflicting with development plan policies requiring enhancement of the Promenade frontage.
