Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the Queens Park Conservation Area
- The effect of the proposed development on living conditions for occupiers of neighbouring properties at 114 and 126 Salusbury Road, with particular regard to loss of privacy, outlook or daylight
- Whether the development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to the size of bedrooms and communal facilities, and the provision of daylight in communal spaces
- Whether the development would make adequate provision for safe loading and servicing, with particular regard to its effect on highway safety
What decided it
The harm to the character and appearance of the Queens Park Conservation Area caused by the infilling of the angled corners at first and second floor levels, combined with inadequate living conditions for future residents and insufficient servicing provision, was not outweighed by the public benefits of the scheme.
