Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on designated heritage assets, namely, the character and appearance of the Lymington Conservation Area and the setting of the Grade II Listed Buildings at Nos. 5–57 Southampton Road
- The living conditions of neighbouring residents of 1 and 3a Southampton Road in respect of outlook and loss of light
What decided it
The proposal would cause harmful effects to both the character and appearance of the conservation area and the setting of listed buildings, and would result in an unacceptable loss of outlook to neighbouring residents, with insufficient public benefits to justify these harms.
