Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area and whether it would preserve the settings of listed buildings near the site
- The effect of the proposed development upon the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to outlook
What decided it
The proposed building's size, design and position would cause less than substantial but unjustified harm to the settings of two Grade II listed buildings and unacceptable harm to the outlook of neighbouring occupiers, which was not outweighed by any public benefits or functional necessity for this particular location.
