Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including with regard to designated heritage assets
  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 1-6 Gloucester Terrace with regard to outlook, sunlight and daylight
  • Whether appropriate living conditions would be provided for future occupiers with regard to external amenity space

What decided it

The neutral effect on character and appearance combined with acceptable impacts on neighbouring living conditions and adequate provision for future occupiers' amenity space meant the scheme accorded with the development plan.

Plan policies cited: Policy CS1, Policy PSP1, Policy PSP8, Policy PSP17, Policy PSP38, Policy PSP43
