Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to its scale and design
- the living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to its effect on outlook for the occupiers of no. 90A Riddlesdown Road
- Whether a contribution is reasonable and necessary in regard to sustainable transport improvements to make the development acceptable
What decided it
The identified conflict with the development plan as a whole, comprising harmful effects on character and appearance through the rear projection's scale and massing, unacceptable harm to neighbouring outlook and amenity at no. 90A, and failure to secure a sustainable transport contribution, was not outweighed by the modest benefits of the scheme.
