Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would provide adequate living conditions for future residents, in particular in relation to sunlight and daylight levels to the proposed ground floor rooms
  • Whether the existing building comprises a non-designated heritage asset (NDHA) and if so, whether the design and appearance of the proposed development, including the proposed roof top extension would result in harm
  • The effect of the proposed development upon protected species, in particular bats, and whether adequate provision is made for biodiversity net gain (BNG)

What decided it

The substantial benefits of providing new, much-needed accommodation and improvements to the appearance of the existing building outweighed the identified harm to living conditions of rear ground floor residents.
