Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host property and the Banbury Conservation Area
- the effect of the proposed development upon the living conditions of the occupiers of No 4 and No 6 Milton Street with particular regard to outlook, daylight and sunlight
What decided it
The proposal would cause less than substantial harm to the conservation area's significance with no demonstrated public benefits to outweigh this harm, and would unacceptably harm the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through loss of outlook, daylight and sunlight.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy ESD15 of the Cherwell Local Plan Part 1 2015Policy C28 of the Cherwell Local Plan 1996Policy C30 of the Cherwell Local Plan 1996
