Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including the setting of Milton House, a Grade II* listed building
  • whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future residents in relation to external amenity space

The proposal would significantly harm the character and appearance of the area through intrusion into the street scene, obstruction of views of the listed building, loss of enclosure, and potential harm to mature trees, combined with unacceptable living conditions due to the enclosed external amenity space.
