Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host building and 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, specifically no. 11 St Andrews Road
What decided it
The scale, form, siting and design of the extension would cause less than substantial harm to the conservation area and listed building setting, and unacceptable adverse impact on neighbouring living conditions, which could not be outweighed by the limited public benefit of improved accessibility.
The less than substantial harm to the conservation area and listed building setting, and the unacceptable adverse impact on neighbouring living conditions, were not outweighed by the limited public benefit of improved accessibility and inclusivity.
