Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development would have an acceptable effect on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the development would be suitably located in terms of the spatial strategy of the development plan, with particular regard to sustainable transport
What decided it
The proposed development, due to its size, scale, massing and spread, would harm the character and appearance of the area, particularly Unit 5 on undeveloped land and the excessive heights of Units 1-4, conflicting with Policy DM8 and the development plan as a whole.
Plan policies cited: Policy DM8, Policy S1, Policy S11, Policy S7
