Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Sotheby Road Conservation Area (CA)
- The effect on the living conditions of local residents in respect of outlook, sense of enclosure and light levels
- The effect on the living conditions of future residents in respect of outdoor space, outlook, light levels, and sense of enclosure
- Whether or not the proposal would be inclusive design in relation to access
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the conservation area's character and appearance, combined with harm to the living conditions of both existing and future occupants and failure to achieve inclusive design, could not be justified by the modest public benefits of providing a single additional dwelling.
The less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area, harm to neighbouring living conditions, and harm to future occupants' living conditions were weighed against the modest public benefits of providing additional housing, ground condition improvements, and environmental efficiencies; the harm outweighed the benefits.
