Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development proposed on the special interest and heritage significance of the grade II* listed Spital Chapel of St James
  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of the adjacent property at No 23 Ashby Road, having particular regard to daylight/sunlight, outlook, privacy, noise and disturbance

What decided it

The development would not result in any harm to the heritage significance of the listed Chapel or to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, as the Chapel's significance derives from its immediate grounds rather than adjoining properties, and the neighbouring property has alternative sources of light and outlook to principal rooms.
