Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Town Centre Conservation Area
- Whether appropriate living conditions would be provided for the future occupiers of the proposal and maintained for neighbouring occupants of 35-37 Wellington Street, with regard to overlooking, privacy, amenity space and access
What decided it
The harm to the conservation area's character and appearance, combined with unacceptable living conditions due to overlooking, loss of privacy, and inadequate access arrangements, outweighed the public benefit of providing two additional family homes.
