Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host buildings 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 6 and 8 Woodfield Road, with regard to outlook
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Cotham and Redland Conservation Area, to which considerable importance and weight must be attached under section 72 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990, was not outweighed by the modest public benefit of providing two small residential units.
The less than substantial harm to the Conservation Area was weighed against the public benefit of providing two small residential units to contribute to local housing supply, and the harm was found to outweigh the benefit
