Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether or not the conversion of the three flats to a single dwelling would result in the unacceptable loss of family sized accommodation in this area having regard to the development plan
  • whether or not the provision of the proposed single dwelling in this location would be out of character with the area
  • the effect of the proposed external changes and additions on the character and appearance of the host building and area

What decided it

The harm to the character and appearance of the locally-listed building and area from the proposed side balcony and boundary railings outweighed the modest benefits of providing larger family-sized accommodation.
