Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host building and the surrounding area, including the North Uxbridge Area of Special Local Character
- the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring dwellings with particular regard to privacy, noise and disturbance
What decided it
The contribution of 2 dwellings to housing supply and mix, identified as an important public benefit, outweighed the slight harm to the Locally Listed Building's significance.
