Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the conservation area
- whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for its occupants in respect of internal accommodation and external amenity space
- whether the proposed development would provide acceptable cycle parking provision
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupants of 6A Sunnyhill Road with reference to privacy and outlook
- whether a S106 planning obligation is necessary to address the transport impacts of the development and the effect of the proposal on local parking conditions and the delivery of transport objectives set out in local planning policies
What decided it
The proposal's failure to preserve or enhance the conservation area character, combined with inadequate living conditions for future occupants and unacceptable impact on neighbouring outlook, brought the scheme into conflict with the development plan which could not be outweighed by the modest housing benefit.
