Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of 118 Bath Road (No 118) and its significance as a non-designated heritage asset (NDHA) and the character and appearance of the area
- whether the development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers having regard to the location and access to the private amenity space, and the occupiers of Unit 1 having regard to outlook and daylight
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of the neighbouring properties having regard to overlooking of rear gardens from the balcony of Unit 2
- whether the proposal would include appropriate provision for the parking of bicycles in order to encourage sustainable travel choices
- the effect of the proposed development on flood risk
What decided it
The cumulative harm to the character and appearance of the non-designated heritage asset and the area, combined with inadequate living conditions for future occupiers and unacceptable overlooking of neighbouring properties, outweighed the benefit of additional housing supply.
