Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host building and the wider area also having regard to the setting of Lenton Lodge a Grade II* listed building
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with regard to noise and disturbance and the occupiers of 367 Derby Road with regard to privacy
- Whether the proposal would provide appropriate living conditions for the proposed occupiers with particular regard to light and outlook
- Whether the proposal would maintain a balanced and sustainable community
What decided it
The proposal's harmful effects on the character and appearance of the area and the significance of the listed building, combined with inadequate outlook for future occupiers and conflict with policies promoting sustainable mixed communities, could not be outweighed by the modest public benefits of additional accommodation and economic activity.
