- the effect of the development on the living conditions of future occupiers, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the Conservation Area as a designated heritage asset was not outweighed by the public benefit of providing a single additional dwelling, and the heritage protection policies engaged footnote 7 to paragraph 11 of the Framework, displacing the need to apply the tilted balance.
