Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area and including its effect on the significance of All Saints Conservation Area through development within its setting
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the future occupants of 34 and 34A Gold Street with regard to outlook, daylight and sunlight
- whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants with regard to outlook, external amenity space, refuse storage space and noise and disturbance
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan through unacceptable harm to character and appearance, conservation area setting, and living conditions of both neighbouring and proposed occupants, with no material considerations of sufficient weight to justify approval.
