Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, having particular regard to heritage assets
  • The effect of the proposal on living conditions of neighbouring occupiers
  • Whether the proposal would be sustainable in respect of its use of resources

What decided it

The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area and the setting of the Conservation Area caused by the increase in bulk and mass of the building was not outweighed by the limited public benefits of providing one additional student accommodation unit.

Framework references: 202, 57
