Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the appeal site and the area, with due regard to heritage assets
- The living conditions of residents in respect of space and ventilation

What decided it
The significant and moderate harm to character and appearance, the non-designated heritage asset, living conditions, and highway safety cumulatively and significantly outweighed the limited benefits of housing supply from this small site, even under the tilted balance.
The adverse impacts of the proposal, including significant harm to character and appearance, moderate harm to the non-designated heritage asset, harm to living conditions, and insufficient parking provision, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits of housing supply and efficient land use, even allowing for the Council's Housing Delivery Test results and the Written Ministerial Statement emphasis on housing delivery.
