Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the site, and whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of Cotham and Redland Conservation Area
What decided it
The encroachment of the development into the notable gap between buildings, coupled with significant engineering works and limited landscaping, would detrimentally impact the spacing and leafy character of the conservation area, and the public benefits do not outweigh this harm.
The less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area outweighed the public benefits of housing delivery, energy standards, and construction benefits, particularly given the statutory duty to pay special attention to preserving or enhancing the conservation area.
