Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • whether sufficient information has been submitted to demonstrate the proposed development would not increase the risk of surface water flooding

What decided it

The proposed development's disproportionate scale, bulk and massing would harm the character and appearance of the area and conflict with the development plan, and insufficient technical evidence was provided to demonstrate the surface water drainage strategy would not increase flood risk.
