Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development enhances biodiversity
- the effect of the roof form on the living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers at Nos 56 and 60 High Street South with particular regard to light and outlook
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The roof form is disproportionately tall and bulky relative to the host building, creating a significant enclosing effect and visual intrusion on neighbouring occupiers at No 60 and appearing incongruous in the local character, contrary to development plan policies and the Framework.
