Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring properties, specifically having regard to noise and disturbance, and the living conditions of occupiers of 52a Princess Street, specifically having regard to outlook
- whether the proposal would include an appropriate housing mix having regard to local housing need
What decided it
The significant harm caused to the character and appearance of the area and to the living conditions of occupiers of 52a Princess Street, combined with conflict with the development plan, outweighed the modest contribution to housing supply.
