Symmons J

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of future occupiers having regard to internal and private external space
  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the Tredegar Square Conservation Area (TSCA)
  • whether the proposal would provide sufficient cycle storage facilities

What decided it

The proposal would fail to provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants and would cause less than substantial harm to the conservation area, with limited public benefits insufficient to outweigh these harms.
