Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including whether the development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Chester Road Conservation Area
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupants of 20 Chester Road
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area, a designated heritage asset, was not outweighed by the limited public benefits of providing a single dwelling, and provided a clear reason to refuse the development.
The significant harm to the Conservation Area and character of the area, attributed great weight, was not outweighed by the limited weight attributed to the housing supply and other benefits of the scheme, and the balance fell against the proposal.
