Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the appeal proposal on the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area
- Its effect on the living conditions of the adjoining occupiers at No 98 Colby Drive
What decided it
The proposed development would appear incongruous and out of character with its surroundings due to excessive bulk and massing, and would harm the living conditions of adjacent occupiers through overbearing effects and loss of privacy.
