Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the proposal on protected species

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the development plan on two independent grounds—harm to character and appearance through excessive massing and height, and failure to provide ecological survey evidence regarding protected species—with no material considerations to outweigh these harms.
