Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the Hanover Conservation Area
- whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers with regard to privacy, outlooks and the provision of private outdoor amenity space
What decided it
The less than substantial but considerable harm to the significance of the Hanover Conservation Area from the incongruous window design and detailing, which would not be outweighed by the limited public benefits of providing two additional dwellings.
The less than substantial harm to the designated heritage asset was weighed against the public benefits of providing two additional dwellings in an accessible location at a time when the Council lacks a five-year housing land supply, but the harm was not outweighed by these limited benefits.
