Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal upon the character or appearance of the Westcombe Park Conservation Area (CA) including the effect upon the host property
  • whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants with particular regard to accessibility and suitability for changing needs

What decided it

The less than substantial but considerable harm to the character and appearance of the Westcombe Park Conservation Area, to which great weight must be attached, is not outweighed by the limited public benefits of the proposal, and the failure to provide step-free access to future occupants.

the less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Westcombe Park Conservation Area, to which great weight must be attached, outweighed the limited public benefits of 3 additional housing units and modest economic benefits
