Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area including with regard to a non-designated heritage asset
- highway safety and parking provision
- the living conditions of residents of No. 86 and 87-90 Brighton Road with regard to light and outlook
What decided it
The proposal would result in significant adverse harm to character and appearance including harm to the non-designated heritage asset, would create unacceptable highway safety concerns due to parking provision, and would cause significant adverse harm to the living conditions of neighbouring residents through overbearing built form, and these harms were not outweighed by the economic and social benefits.
