Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 267, 271 and 273 Hartshill Road, in terms of outlook and privacy
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area, which lies within Hartshill Conservation Area, and the setting of the listed buildings at Minton's Cottages, 267-281 Hartshill Road
What decided it
The development causes harm to neighbouring living conditions through loss of privacy and outlook, and less than substantial but considerable harm to the heritage significance of the listed buildings and conservation area, with no public benefits to justify this harm.
The harm to living conditions and heritage assets, though the latter less than substantial, outweighed any benefits of the development, with no public benefits advanced to justify the harm.
