Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the property and the Sea Mills Conservation Area

What decided it

The less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Sea Mills Conservation Area, a designated heritage asset to which great weight must be given, was not outweighed by any public benefits, as the proposal would only provide private residential benefit.

The less than substantial harm to the significance of the conservation area, a matter of considerable weight and importance, was not outweighed by the private benefit of enhanced living accommodation, as no public benefits were demonstrated.
