Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the appeal proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including its effect on the significance of 21 Clarendon Road as a Non-Designated Heritage Asset (NDHA)
- the living conditions of future occupiers with particular regard to daylight and outlook
- the living conditions of existing residents within the adjacent building at no. 23 Clarendon Road, with particular regard to daylight and outlook
What decided it
The significant harm to the significance of the Non-Designated Heritage Asset and the character and appearance of the area, combined with unacceptable living conditions for both future and neighbouring occupiers, outweighed the limited housing and economic benefits of the scheme.
The benefits of delivering 8 new dwellings in a sustainable location and limited economic benefits were outweighed by significant harm to the Non-Designated Heritage Asset, harm to the living conditions of future occupiers due to poor outlook, and moderate harm to the living conditions of neighbouring residents through loss of outlook, daylight and sunlight.
