Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposal on the character or appearance of the Royal Leamington Spa Conservation Area
the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupants of 20 St Mary's Terrace, with regard outlook
whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for the future occupants of the proposed dwelling, with regards to private garden space

What decided it

The harmful effect on the character and appearance of the conservation area through the incongruous form of the proposed dwelling, combined with the overbearing impact on neighbouring living conditions and the absence of private garden space for future occupants, was not outweighed by the limited public benefits.

Plan policies cited: Policy BE1, Policy HE1, Policy RLS3, Policy BE3, Policy H1, Policy TR3

Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
