- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of adjoining properties, having regard to outlook
What decided it
The less than substantial but considerable harm to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area and the significance of the locally listed building, which was not outweighed by the limited public benefits of the proposal, and which engaged the heritage protection exception to the presumption in favour of sustainable development.
The limited public benefits of housing and economic delivery did not justify or outweigh the less than substantial but considerable harm to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area and the significance of the locally listed building.
