Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for the future occupants of the proposed dwellings, with particular regard to internal space, privacy, daylight and outlook
- Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the St Paul's Conservation Area
What decided it
The unacceptable living conditions for four of the proposed flats, combined with the harmful impact of the dormer and chimney removal on the conservation area character, outweighed the limited public benefits of additional housing.
