Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, having regard to the Huddersfield Road Conservation Area
- Whether the proposed development would provide a satisfactory standard of accommodation for its future occupiers, having regard to the provision of internal living space and private outdoor space, outlook and light
- Whether or not the proposed development would result in an unacceptable loss of a larger dwelling
- Whether or not it has been demonstrated that the proposal would have an acceptable effect on highway safety, having regard to parking provision
What decided it
The combination of harm to the conservation area's character and appearance and the provision of poor quality accommodation for future occupiers, to which significant weight was attached, could not be outweighed by the small benefits of the proposal.
