Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, particularly whether the proposal conserves or enhances the significance of St Andrews Square Conservation Area
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring properties
- Whether the proposal would provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers of the development, specifically in respect of outdoor amenity space and daylight and sunlight
- Whether the proposal would have an unacceptable impact on highway safety, or the residual cumulative impacts on the road network would be severe
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the heritage assets and the unacceptable adverse impacts on living conditions of neighbouring occupiers and future occupiers outweighed the substantial benefit of providing a single family home.
The adverse impacts of granting permission, comprising less than substantial harm to the conservation area and listed building setting and unacceptable impacts on living conditions, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of the scheme (provision of a single family home and reduction of antisocial behaviour), when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
