Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the street scene, including whether it would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of Whiteladies Road Conservation Area and its effect on the setting of Cotham and Redland Conservation Area
What decided it
The very limited public benefits of the proposal would not be sufficient to outweigh the less than substantial harm to the significance of the two conservation areas, to which great weight must be attached under the Framework.
The less than substantial harm to the significance of Whiteladies Road Conservation Area and Cotham and Redland Conservation Area, to which great weight was attached, outweighed the very limited private benefits of defining private space and safeguarding occupier amenity, security and privacy
