Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character or appearance of the conservation area and on the setting of nearby listed buildings and non-designated heritage assets
- the effect of the cartlodge on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers of neighbouring buildings on Ballingdon Street with particular regard to outlook
What decided it
The cartlodge's prominent roof in views from the rear causes less than substantial harm to the significance of nearby listed buildings and the conservation area that cannot be outweighed by private benefits.

- LP19LP24
