Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the existing building, and whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Tynemouth Village Conservation Area
- the effect of the front dormer window and terrace on the living conditions of the occupants of the neighbouring property at 44 Percy Gardens, with regard to privacy
What decided it
The proposed development would cause less than substantial harm to the significance of the conservation area through its scale and design in a prominent location, and this harm could not be outweighed by the modest private benefits claimed, particularly given the requirement to give great weight to conservation of the designated heritage asset.
