Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the De Vere Conservation Area
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of No. 46 Victoria Road with particular regard to daylight and sense of enclosure
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the De Vere Conservation Area was not outweighed by the public benefits of the scheme.
The less than substantial harm to the Conservation Area, afforded considerable importance and weight, was not outweighed by the public benefits (housing delivery, energy efficiency, accessible units, possible affordable housing contribution, and minor amenity improvements), so the balance tipped against the proposal.
