Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of No. 4 Melbourne Place, with particular regard to sunlight and daylight
- whether the proposed development would conserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Cowes Conservation Area, and whether it would preserve the setting of the Church of the Holy Trinity, a Grade II listed building
What decided it
The lack of sufficient evidence to demonstrate that the proposed development would not result in harm to the living conditions of the occupiers of No. 4 Melbourne Place, particularly regarding sunlight and daylight to the rear of that property, conflicted with Policy DM2 of the development plan and could not be outweighed by other material considerations.
Plan policies cited: Policy DM2, Policy DM11
