Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of nearby occupiers, with particular regard to light intrusion
- whether the proposal takes opportunities to integrate sustainable design and construction principles
What decided it
The proposal would result in significant harm to the character and appearance of the area through its prominent scale, visual intrusion and incongruity within its residential and suburban setting, which material considerations and public benefits could not override.
