Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The proposed development's design, scale, height and positioning would respect the local character and appearance of the area, which comprises mixed housing types with varying densities and topography, and would not appear out of scale, overbearing or unduly cramped.
