Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers with regard to outlook, natural light and natural ventilation and the impact on the living conditions of occupiers of adjoining properties with particular regard to privacy and the proximity of the accommodation to existing private courtyards
- Having regard to sections 16(2), 66(1) and 72(1) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990, whether the proposal would preserve the Grade II listed building at 1-8 Cleveland Gardens W2 and whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Bayswater Conservation Area
What decided it
The poor outlook, inadequate natural light and natural ventilation for future occupiers, combined with harm to adjoining occupiers' privacy and use of private courtyards, resulted in unacceptable living conditions that conflicted with development plan policies and could not be outweighed by material considerations.
Plan policies cited: Policy 12, Policy 38, Policy 7, Policy 39, Policy 40
