Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed dwelling on the character and appearance of the street scene of St James' Avenue, which includes the land to the rear of 83 St James' Road
What decided it
The mixed and undistinctive character of this particular stretch of St James' Avenue, combined with the existing residential appearance of the building and the opportunity to provide modest affordable housing within a designated Area of Potential Intensification, meant the proposed conversion and extension would improve rather than harm the streetscene.
