Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area with particular regard as to whether or not it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Lower Sunbury Conservation Area or effect the setting of a nearby listed building
- The living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to a loss of privacy and whether or not the proposal would be overbearing
What decided it
The proposal would cause less than substantial harm to two designated heritage assets (the conservation area and listed building setting) which, when weighed against only modest public benefits, outweighs the acceptable impact on neighbouring living conditions.
