Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of Goddard Court and 8A Wood Street in terms of outlook and privacy
- Its effect on the character and appearance of the area, including whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Old Town Conservation Area and its effect on non-designated heritage assets
What decided it
The unacceptable detrimental effect on the living conditions of neighbouring residents combined with harmful effects on the conservation area and non-designated heritage assets meant the development did not accord with the development plan and the benefits were insufficient to justify permission.
