Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- the extent to which the development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Norfolk Road, Warwick Road, Surrey Road Conservation Area
- whether the proposed development would provide a satisfactory standard of accommodation, with particular regard to internal space standards and amenity space
- whether adequate refuse storage would be provided
What decided it
The harmful effect on the character and appearance of the conservation area, combined with the failure to meet internal space standards, could not be justified by the limited public benefits of providing one additional dwelling.
