Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The impact of the proposal upon the existing dwelling, visual amenity, and character of the area
What decided it
The siting, scale, massing, form and appearance of the proposal would result in incoherent, bulky and overly prominent development that causes notable harm to visual amenity and local character, contrary to the requirement for high-quality design.
