Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposed development on ecology, with particular regard to designated priority habitat
- Whether the proposed development would provide suitable parking provision, with particular regard to the Council's standards
What decided it
The proposed development would result in significant harm to the character and appearance of the area through its scale, massing and layout in a backland position, which is a matter of substantial weight that outweighs the material considerations and benefits of the proposal.
