Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • Whether the development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to the amount and quality of living space, daylight and sunlight, natural ventilation, and outlook

What decided it

The proposed development would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the area through its excessive size and massing, and would fail to provide acceptable living conditions due to insufficient ceiling heights in Unit 4, both conflicting with development plan policies.

Plan policies cited: Policy CDH01, Policy CDH05, Policy D3, Policy D6
