Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The impact of the proposal on the character and appearance of the Owens Southsea Conservation Area
- The impact of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of Thicket Cottage, with particular regard to outlook and light impacts
- Whether the proposal would provide adequate mitigation for the Solent Special Protection Areas
What decided it
The proposal's design would respect the conservation area's character through its pitched roofs, gables and materials reflecting Victorian detailing, and the mitigation secured for the SPAs would be adequate to make the development acceptable.
