Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the appeal scheme on the character and appearance of the host building and the local area
  • whether fire safety considerations have been adequately addressed

What decided it

The appeal scheme's rudimentary design and materials are clearly visible from the public highway and negatively affect the character and appearance of the host building and local area, contrary to development plan policies on good design.
