Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host building and the surrounding area, including the setting of the Alexandra Cottages Conservation Area
- Whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers with regard to natural light and ventilation
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the setting of the adjacent conservation area, given great weight, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest social and economic benefits of the proposal.
