Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The development conflicts with the development plan through material harm to both the character and appearance of the area and the living conditions of neighbouring residential occupiers, with no material considerations sufficient to outweigh this conflict.
