Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 1 Adelphi Crescent (No 1), with particular regard to outlook, privacy, sunlight and daylight
- Whether the proposed development would provide appropriate living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to internal space and wheelchair accessibility
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by the tapering of space and enclosed appearance at first floor level, which would erode the existing sense of spaciousness characteristic of the corner plot location.
The limited benefits from housing supply, economic and social benefits, and the neutral factors of improved living conditions and accessibility were outweighed by the unacceptable harm to character and appearance.
