Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, including the significance of the St. Catherine's Conservation Area No 4
- The conditions of the occupiers/users of neighbouring properties, with particular reference to privacy, light, and parking
What decided it
The proposal would cause unacceptable harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through loss of light to a frequently-occupied living room window and commercial premises, which could not be justified by the housing density benefits claimed.
