Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area and whether it would provide a safe and secure environment
- Whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to noise and disturbance, and its effect on the operation and viability of the neighbouring public house
- Whether the proposal would provide adequate cycle parking facilities and waste storage arrangements
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to character and appearance caused by the incongruous zinc cladding, combined with unresolved noise and disturbance issues affecting both future residents and the neighbouring public house's viability, and inadequate cycle parking provision, collectively outweighed any benefits of the proposal.
