Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the St Mary's Conservation Area
- the impact of the development on the living conditions of the future occupants with particular regard to privacy and access to private external amenity space
- the impact of the development on the living conditions of the neighbouring occupants at Nos 9-13 Ladywell Road with regard to outlook and access to light
What decided it
The harm to the conservation area's character and appearance, combined with adverse impacts on the living conditions of both future and neighbouring occupants, outweighed the limited public benefits of providing two additional residential units.
