Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the principle of development is acceptable in this location having regard to the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area and on the significance of the ASLC, a non-designated heritage asset
- whether adequate living conditions would be provided for future occupiers with particular regard to provision for outdoor amenity space
What decided it
The proposal would harm the character and appearance of the area and the significance of the ASLC through erosion of spacious building gaps and inconsistent plot layouts, and this harm carries significant weight that outweighs the limited benefits of providing one additional dwelling.
