Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host building, its surroundings on Filey Avenue and on the Northwold and Cazenove Conservation Area
What decided it
The unacceptable impact on the character and appearance of the host property and the Conservation Area, combined with the absence of public benefits to outweigh the less than substantial harm, and the failure to demonstrate that the disability need could not be met through alternative means within existing floorspace.
The less than substantial harm to the Conservation Area was not outweighed by any public benefits, as only private benefits to the occupants were identified.
