Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the surrounding area, with particular regard to the extent to which it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Cotham and Redland Conservation Area
  • The living conditions of the occupants of 125 Redland Road, with regard to outlook and light

What decided it

The development would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area by closing the gap between dwellings and introducing an incongruous flat-roofed form, and would significantly harm the living conditions of neighbouring occupants through loss of light and overbearing outlook, with insufficient public benefit to outweigh these harms.
