Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

- The effect of the proposed extension on the living conditions of the occupants of 28 Marmaduke Street, with particular regard to outlook, daylight, privacy and noise
What decided it
The harm to the designated heritage assets, assessed as less than substantial but commanding considerable importance and weight, was not outweighed by the identified public benefits, and the proposal would also cause harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupants through noise and disturbance.
