Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Sidbury and Fort Royal Conservation Area
  • the effect of the proposal on the setting of the adjacent Grade II Listed Building, 6 Green Hill Bath Road
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties, including 6 Green Hill Bath Road and properties on Bath Road, by reason of outlook and overlooking

What decided it

The proposal would cause less than substantial but considerable harm to the heritage significance of the Conservation Area and Listed Building setting, with insufficient public benefits to justify this harm under paragraph 208 of the Framework, and would also unacceptably harm the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through overbearing impact and loss of outlook.

Framework references: 205, 206, 208
