Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the development on the living conditions of a neighbouring property due to overlooking of the private rear amenity space of 49 Wellington Terrace caused by the close position of the building and the windows along the North East elevation
the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the conservation area

What decided it

The imposition of conditions requiring the cladding to be treated in a single colour and the windows on the north-east elevation to be obscure glazed and non-opening sufficiently mitigates the identified harms to allow the development to be acceptable.
