What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the Boscombe Manor Conservation Area, a designated heritage asset, was not outweighed by public benefits, and the tilted balance does not apply to protect such assets.
The less than substantial harm to the conservation area was not outweighed by the private benefits of improved living space and energy efficiency, and the absence of a net increase in housing numbers.
