Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the appeal property and street scene
- whether the proposal provides adequate private amenity space for the future occupiers of the flats, or whether there is sufficient mitigation for any lack of provision of private amenity space
What decided it
The significant harm to character and appearance caused by the scale, form and massing of the extension, combined with the failure to provide adequate private amenity space for future occupiers, outweighs the minor economic benefits.
The minor economic benefits to the retail store were outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance and the failure to provide adequate private amenity space.
