Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area including whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the West Hill Road Conservation Area and nearby non-designated heritage assets
- The impact of the proposed development upon the living conditions of existing neighbouring occupiers with regard to privacy and outlook
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the conservation area and the significant harm to neighbouring occupiers' privacy from direct overlooking of rear gardens outweighed the modest housing benefits of the proposals.
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the conservation area and the significant harm to the living conditions of existing occupiers through loss of privacy outweighed the modest public benefits of contributing to local housing supply.
