Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers of 1 Landmor Mews (No.1), with particular regard to daylight and sense of enclosure
  • the effect of the proposal on highway safety and whether the proposal would make adequate provision for any additional need for sustainable transport improvement arising from the development
  • whether the proposal makes adequate provision for matters relating to fire safety

What decided it

The unacceptable harm caused to the character and appearance of the area and to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through the proposal's incongruous siting, scale, continuous form and overbearing massing significantly outweighed any benefits.
