Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of Cotham and Redland Conservation Area
- Whether the development would provide satisfactory living conditions for the future occupiers of proposed Unit 2 with particular regard to outlook, natural light and ventilation
- The effect of the proposal upon the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers of no. 10 Chandos Road
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the conservation area, combined with unacceptable living conditions for future occupiers of Unit 2 and harmful impacts on neighbouring amenity, outweighed the limited benefits of providing two additional dwellings.
The benefits of housing delivery and short-term economic benefits were outweighed by the less than substantial harm to the conservation area and the unacceptable living conditions and neighbour amenity impacts.
