Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host building and the surrounding conservation area
  • The residential amenity of the adjoining residents in relation to loss of outlook and light (to occupiers of no.14) and overbearing impact and noise

What decided it

The proposal causes less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area and unacceptable harm to residential amenity through overbearing impact, loss of outlook and light, and noise, with no public benefits to outweigh this harm.
