Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development, by reason of its scale, height, massing and proximity to the shared boundary with Truro Walk, would result in an unduly dominant and overbearing form of development, resulting in an unacceptable sense of enclosure to the primary private amenity space of 3 Truro Walk. The development therefore fails to safeguard neighbouring residential amenity, contrary to Core Policy 57 (vii) of the Wiltshire Core Strategy (2015) and Appendix D of the Wiltshire Design Guide.

From the council's decision notice.
