Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the local area bearing in mind the statutory test for conservation areas
- Whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers with regard to private amenity space
What decided it
The proposal would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the Turkey Street Conservation Area by introducing a visually disruptive and uncharacteristic dwelling that would conflict with the established pattern of development, and this harm was not outweighed by the modest housing contribution.
