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 scale and design
- the impact on the living conditions of adjoining occupiers in relation to privacy
- the adequacy of living conditions for future occupiers in relation to amenity space provision and privacy
- the impact on local on-street parking stress
What decided it
The harm to the conservation area's character and appearance, combined with adverse impacts on neighbouring occupiers' privacy and inadequate amenity space for future occupiers, outweighed the benefits of providing two additional dwellings and restoring the building.
