Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character of the Jewellery Quarter Conservation Area, having regard to local planning policy
  • Whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants, having regard to noise, air quality, privacy and the provision of internal space
  • The effect of the proposed development on the operation of existing businesses

What decided it

The proposal would cause less than substantial but considerable harm to the character of the Conservation Area, would provide unacceptable living conditions for future occupants due to noise, air quality and privacy concerns, and would not integrate effectively with existing businesses, with insufficient public benefits to outweigh these harms.
