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 highway safety
- whether the proposal would provide satisfactory carbon emission reduction and water efficiency measures
- whether the proposal would provide suitable living conditions for future occupants with regard to the provision of external space and outlook
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan on multiple grounds including harmful effects on character and appearance, highway safety concerns, failure to meet carbon emission reduction requirements, and substandard outlook for future occupants, with no material considerations indicating it should be determined otherwise.
