Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the De Freville Conservation Area
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers at 48 Kimberley Road with regard to outlook
What decided it
The less-than-substantial harm to the conservation area's character and appearance, to which great weight must be given, was not outweighed by the private benefits of improved accommodation and modest environmental gains.
The private benefits of improved family living space and modest environmental improvements were insufficient to outweigh the less-than-substantial harm to the conservation area's character and appearance, to which great weight was attributed.
