Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • the living conditions of future occupiers with particular regard to outlook, privacy, defensibility and amenity space

What decided it

The proposed development would harm the character and appearance of the area through disproportionate massing and form, and would fail to provide adequate privacy and defensible space for ground floor occupiers, conflicting with the development plan.
