Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effects of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including whether it would conserve or enhance the character or appearance of Stonehouse Peninsula Conservation Area
the effects of the proposal on neighbouring occupiers at No 54A Admiralty Street, in respect of the adequacy of outdoor amenity space and overlooking

What decided it

The fallback position established by the Certificate of Proposed Lawful Development, which permitted the doors and boundary fence as permitted development, meant the proposal could cause no greater harm to neighbouring occupiers than could be implemented lawfully in any case.

whilst the proposal would harm the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers and conflict with the development plan as a whole, the material consideration of the fallback position indicating that greater or equal harm could be implemented lawfully tipped the balance in favour of allowing the appeal
