Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • highway safety with particular regard to car parking provision
  • whether cycle parking provision and arrangements for waste storage and recycling facilities would be adequate

What decided it

The significant harm to character and appearance caused by the elevated scale and massing of the proposed extension, combined with inadequate cycle parking provision, conflicts with the development plan and cannot be outweighed by the scheme's housing supply benefits.
