Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area, including whether the character or appearance of the Leamington Spa Conservation Area would be preserved or enhanced
- whether the proposal offers acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, having regard to outlook, light and internal living space
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the Leamington Spa Conservation Area as a designated heritage asset, which would not be outweighed by the modest public benefits of providing a single additional housing unit, combined with the unacceptable living conditions for future occupiers.
