Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the significance of designated and non-designated heritage assets, including a Grade II* listed building; the Avonmore and Olympia Conservation Area; and a locally listed building of merit
- the living conditions of nearby occupiers with particular regard to natural light and outlook
- the living conditions of future occupiers, with particular regard to safety in the event of a fire
What decided it
The scale, massing, design and position of the proposed extension would cause less than substantial harm to the setting of a Grade II* listed building and the character of the conservation area that would not be outweighed by public benefits, combined with unacceptable reductions in natural light and outlook to neighbouring occupiers.
