Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether any adverse impacts of the proposal, having particular regard to the effects upon the character and appearance of the area, including the settings of the Barton Conservation Area and Nos. 141-147 Fore Street; the living conditions of the occupiers of Nos. 145, 147 and 149 Fore Street, with particular regard to outlook; and car parking and bin storage facilities, would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits
What decided it
The adverse effects upon the character and appearance of the area and the living conditions (outlook) of the occupiers of No. 147 Fore Street significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of housing supply.
The benefits of housing delivery and efficient use of urban land were outweighed by the significant harm to the character and appearance of the area, the setting of the conservation area and key buildings, and the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers.
