Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host building and the surrounding area
- its effect on living conditions for occupiers of no. 41 Wellington Road
- whether suitable living conditions would be provided for occupiers of the proposed flats
- whether adequate provision would be made for cycle parking and waste
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to character and appearance combined with inadequate living conditions for future occupiers, particularly the failure to meet space standards and provide private amenity space, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest benefits of housing delivery.
