Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Stamford Green Conservation Area
- whether the proposed development would provide adequate living conditions for future occupants with particular reference to private amenity space
What decided it
The less than substantial but considerable harm to the conservation area's character and spaciousness, combined with inadequate private amenity space for future occupants, could not be outweighed by the housing benefits given the great weight afforded to heritage conservation.
the housing benefits of five dwellings in a sustainable location and support for local services were outweighed by the considerable harm to the conservation area and the unacceptable living conditions arising from inadequate private amenity space
