Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect on the living conditions of occupiers of 56 Ratcliffe Road (No 56) in terms of outlook and access to light
- the effect on the setting and significance of No 56, a grade II listed building
- whether the development would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Stoneygate Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposal would cause less than substantial harm to the setting and significance of a grade II listed building and the character and appearance of the conservation area, with no public benefits to outweigh this harm.
The less than substantial harm to the heritage assets and living conditions of neighbours was not outweighed by any other factors, and the proposal was contrary to the development plan.
