Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the local area
- Whether or not the building is accessible to all
- The effect on the living conditions of the occupants of neighbouring dwellings and the future occupants of the building with regards to light levels and outlook
- Whether or not there would be adequate cycle facilities to support the scheme
What decided it
The proposal's poor design response to the character of the Victorian terrace, combined with failures on accessibility, neighbour amenity, and cycle facilities, resulted in conflict with the development plan with no material considerations to outweigh this.
