Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the conservation area
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of future occupiers
- whether the proposal would result in the loss of a family sized dwelling
- the effect of the proposal on car parking and highway safety
What decided it
The proposal fails to preserve or enhance the conservation area character, would significantly harm living conditions of future occupiers through inadequate amenity space and poor internal layout, would result in loss of a family dwelling without compensating benefits, and would create highway safety concerns without the necessary section 106 agreement.
