Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed additional floor on the character and appearance of the host building and surrounding area

What decided it

The proposed additional floor would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the area by creating an incoherent, overly dominant and incongruous form of development that conflicts with the prevailing uniform rooflines and design character of the street, which substantially and demonstrably outweighs the modest housing and economic benefits.

The significant harm to character and appearance, to which significant weight was attached, substantially and demonstrably outweighs the modest benefits of housing delivery and economic benefits, when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole
