Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Church Street Conservation Area
whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to privacy, outlook, and levels of sunlight and daylight
the effect of the proposal upon the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers at 91, 93, 95, and 97 Church Street, with particular regard to privacy, outlook, and levels of sunlight and daylight
the effect of the proposal upon features of archaeological interest that may be present on the site

What decided it

The proposal would fail to preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Church Street Conservation Area and would cause less than substantial harm to its significance as a designated heritage asset, which cannot be justified by the limited public benefits of a single dwelling.
