Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Boscombe Spa Conservation Area
- Whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers of the development with regard to outlook
What decided it
The harm to the character and appearance of the Boscombe Spa Conservation Area caused by the proposed flat roof extension, which would be jarringly at odds with the characteristic pitched roofs and would disrupt the symmetry of rear elevations, was not outweighed by the modest public benefits of improved living conditions and a bicycle store.
