Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area, including on existing trees and whether it would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the St Stephen's Conservation Area
  • whether the proposal, with regard to its scale, would provide suitable living conditions for future occupiers in terms of outlook and adequate amenity space

What decided it

The harm to the character and appearance of the St Stephen's Conservation Area, assessed as less than substantial but of great weight, was not outweighed by the modest housing supply benefit and temporary construction benefits of the proposal.
