Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Bath Conservation Area
- The effect of the proposals upon the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, most notably No.14 St. Catherine's Close, in respect of outlook
What decided it
The sensitive design and positioning of the extensions, combined with the use of appropriate materials and the fact that a revised application had subsequently been approved by the Council for the majority of the scheme, demonstrated that the development would preserve the conservation area character and not harmfully affect neighbouring living conditions.
