Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including the Watling Estate Conservation Area
the living conditions of the future occupiers of the proposed residential unit with particular regard to outlook and standard of accommodation

What decided it

The proposal's modest scale, contemporary design and sensitive siting within an already varied architectural context, combined with the provision of adequate light and outlook for future occupiers, justified allowing the appeal despite the conservation area location.

The minor positive material impact on the conservation area through redevelopment of an unsightly brownfield site and the provision of a satisfactory standard of accommodation for future occupiers outweighed any concerns about the development.
