Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the area, including the heritage significance of the existing building
- the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers at No 246 Southlands Road, with particular regard to outlook and levels of daylight and sunlight
What decided it
The total and irreversible loss of a non-designated heritage asset of limited significance, combined with unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area, significantly and demonstrably outweighs the limited benefits of providing two additional housing units.
The limited benefits of housing delivery and economic activity were outweighed by the total loss of a non-designated heritage asset of limited significance and unacceptable harm to character and appearance, such that adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighed benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
