Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the design of the proposed development on the architectural integrity of the host property and thereby the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposed development would cause serious harm to the architectural integrity and character of the host property through its incongruous three-dimensional form, overall massing and complex appearance, conflicting with the development plan with no material considerations to outweigh this conflict.
