Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of a conservation area in relation to its height, scale and design
- the impact on the living conditions of adjoining occupiers in relation to outlook, privacy and a sense of enclosure
- the adequacy of living conditions for future occupiers in relation to privacy in habitable rooms and external amenity space
- the impact on local on-street parking stress
What decided it
The harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area through the scale and unsympathetic design of the terrace, combined with the substantial adverse impact on the living conditions of occupiers at 1 Queensthorpe Road, outweighed the benefits of providing three additional dwellings.
