Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed roof additions proposal upon the character and appearance of the host building and surrounding area
- the effect of the proposed development upon the supply of family housing in the borough
- whether or not the proposed development would provide suitable living conditions for future occupiers
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan on three substantial grounds—harm to character and appearance, loss of family housing contrary to policy, and failure to provide adequate living conditions—and the modest economic benefits do not outweigh these serious shortcomings.
