Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, having particular regard to the Bath Conservation Area and the City of Bath World Heritage Site
- whether the proposed development would provide satisfactory living conditions for existing occupiers, in respect of privacy, noise and odour
- whether the proposal makes adequate provision for parking and the effect of any lack of provision on highway safety
- the effect of the proposed development on trees
What decided it
The development would fail to preserve the character and appearance of the Bath Conservation Area due to design features incompatible with the historic villa, and the public benefits did not outweigh this less than substantial harm.
