Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the street scene

What decided it

The development conflicts with development plan policies CS28 and SP55 by creating unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the street scene through its stark, dominant and incongruous appearance, and material considerations do not outweigh this conflict.
