Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host building and the surrounding area, including in respect of the effect on the significance of the building which is a non-designated heritage asset (NDHA)
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring residents with particular regard to outlook, overlooking and privacy and noise and disturbance
- effects on the highway network as a result of additional vehicular traffic
What decided it
The unacceptable adverse effect on the character and appearance of the non-designated heritage asset and the surrounding area, combined with harm to the outlook of neighbouring residents, outweighed the moderate social and economic benefits and conflicted with the development plan.
