Core Refusal Reason
The proposal constitutes overdevelopment and is visually incongruous with the surrounding environment due to its excessive scale and massing.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The development represents overdevelopment of the site and would be visually dominant and incongruous within the existing streetscape.
- The layout, size, scale, and massing are out-of-character with the receiving environment and would negatively impact both visual and residential amenity.
- The proposal would set an undesirable precedent for similar developments and is contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
