Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including the effect on the significance of the Ridgeway and Broadstone Conservation Area with regard to its setting
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers at No.13 Ridgeway with particular regard to light and outlook
  • whether the proposal provides convenient and practical bicycle storage

What decided it

The less than substantial harm to the setting of the Conservation Area, combined with harm to neighbouring living conditions, outweighed the limited public benefits of providing an additional dwelling.

the limited public benefits from the provision of an additional dwelling in an accessible location did not outweigh the less than substantial harm to the Conservation Area as a whole
