Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the mix of housing stock in the community
  • the effects of the lightwell on the character and appearance of the appeal property and the Heaver Estate Conservation Area

What decided it

The proposal would result in less than substantial harm to the Heaver Estate Conservation Area through the dominance of the front lightwell, and the modest public benefits identified do not outweigh the great weight that must be given to the conservation of heritage assets.

Framework references: 202, 212
