Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would conserve or enhance the character or appearance of the West End Green Conservation Area
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of No. 1 Lymington Road, with particular regard to privacy, light and the size of private outdoor garden space
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the conservation area's character and appearance, combined with the inadequate communal garden space for existing occupiers, outweighed the limited public benefits, and the heritage asset protection in NPPF paragraph 11d(i) and footnote 7 prevented the tilted balance from being invoked.
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the designated heritage asset was not outweighed by the limited public benefits of one additional house and modest economic benefits
