Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the local area and the extent to which it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Cliftonville Conservation Area
- whether sufficient information has been presented to demonstrate that the loss of residential accommodation can be justified
What decided it
The proposal would harm the character and appearance of the Cliftonville Conservation Area through its over-prominent scale and depth, and would result in a net loss of residential accommodation contrary to Policy DM2, with insufficient public benefits to justify this harm.
Framework references: 199, 202, 197
