Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host building and the street scene
- Whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to the external amenity space provision for Flats 1 – 4, and the levels of daylight and outlook for Flat 2
What decided it
The significant harm to character and appearance of the host building and street scene, combined with the failure to provide acceptable living conditions due to inadequate external amenity space, outweighed the modest housing contribution.
The modest contribution towards housing needs was outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance and the failure to provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers.
