Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area having regard to its conservation area status
- The living conditions of the occupiers of Nos 4 and 6 Swainson Street with particular reference to outlook/sense of enclosure and privacy, and of future occupiers of the ancillary accommodation with reference to outlook
What decided it
The outbuilding would preserve the character and appearance of the conservation area through its mews-type design consistent with Swainson Street's historical context, and would not harm the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through appropriate design measures including obscure glazing and restricted window opening.
