Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the boarding house on the character and appearance of the area, including College Conservation Area
- its effect on the living conditions of nearby residents having regard to noise and disturbance
- whether the boarding house accommodation would be of an acceptable standard for pupils with regard to bedroom size, layout, natural light, ventilation and outlook, and also in size and layout of the indoor communal space
What decided it
The development would cause permanent adverse impacts on the character and appearance of the College Conservation Area and the living conditions of adjoining residents, with inadequate bedroom standards for pupils, and the public benefits do not outweigh this harm.
