Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of The Park Conservation Area, having regard to the significance of the appeal building as a non-designated heritage asset
- the effect of the proposal on road safety, having regard to whether the level of off-street parking would be acceptable
- whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers with regards to odour, noise pollution, and privacy
What decided it
The proposal would cause less than substantial but considerable harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area through damage to the heritage significance of the locally-listed building, combined with unacceptable highway safety impacts from insufficient parking provision and unacceptable living conditions from odour and noise, with limited public benefits insufficient to outweigh these harms.
