Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including the appeal property, bearing in mind that it would be in the St Luke's Conservation Area
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers at 130 Whitecross Street and 126 Whitecross Street, with regard to outlook and daylight
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the future occupiers of the proposed development, with regard to private outdoor space
- whether or not an affordable housing contribution is required, and if so whether appropriate arrangements have been made
What decided it
The proposal would harm the character and appearance of the St Luke's Conservation Area and fail to preserve its significance, with insufficient public benefits to outweigh the great weight attached to conservation of this designated heritage asset.
