Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, including heritage assets
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of occupants of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to daylight, sunlight, outlook and privacy
- whether the proposed development would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupants, with particular regard to daylight, sunlight, outlook and privacy
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the conservation area and listed building setting, combined with unacceptable harm to neighbouring living conditions, could not be outweighed by housing supply benefits, and heritage asset protection provided a clear reason for refusal under paragraph 11(d)(i) of the Framework.
the benefits of housing delivery and economic benefits were outweighed by the less than substantial harm to the conservation area and listed building setting, and the unacceptable harm to neighbouring living conditions
