Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Marsden Conservation Area
- The effect of the proposal upon the living conditions of the occupiers of No. 27 Warehouse Hill Road in respect of privacy and outlook
What decided it
The proposed development would cause less than substantial harm to the significance of the Marsden Conservation Area through poor design and loss of characteristic frontage openness, with no identified public benefits to outweigh this harm, and would also cause material harm to neighbouring living conditions through overbearing outlook.
