Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the Watling Estate Conservation Area and its effect on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposed scheme on the living conditions of future occupiers, with particular respect to the size of the accommodation
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of 161 Littlefield Road, especially with respect to privacy
- The effect of the proposal on on-street parking provision within the area
What decided it
The cumulative harm to the conservation area's character and appearance, combined with breaches of space standards for future occupiers, privacy harm to neighbours, and unacceptable highway safety impacts, was not outweighed by the limited benefits of the proposal.
