Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the site and the surrounding area
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupants of neighbouring dwellings at 7a Conduit Street and 33 Regent Street, with regard to outlook and sunlight
- Whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants, with regard to the provision of internal living space and the size and privacy of outside amenity space
What decided it
The substantial, multiple and long-lasting harms to character and appearance, neighbour amenity, and future occupant living conditions significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited benefits of housing supply contribution and construction activity when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
The substantial harms to character and appearance, neighbour living conditions, and future occupant amenity were weighed against the limited benefits of housing supply contribution and construction activity; the harms significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits, displacing the paragraph 11d presumption in favour of sustainable development.

- Policy SD4 of the JCSPolicy SD14 of the JCSPolicy SD11 of the JCSPolicy A1 of the CP
