Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the Bowes Park Conservation Area
- The effect of the proposed development on living conditions for neighbouring residents, with particular regard to daylight and sunlight, and whether it would be unacceptably overbearing
What decided it
The proposed development would cause less than substantial harm to the Bowes Park Conservation Area as a designated heritage asset, and this harm would not be outweighed by the limited public benefits of providing a single dwelling, contrary to Framework paragraph 215 and local plan policies requiring conservation and enhancement of heritage assets.
