Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the locally listed building (the appeal property, 6 Oakwood Avenue)
- whether the proposed development would ensure adequate living conditions for future occupiers of Unit 4, with regard to outlook and the provision of natural light
What decided it
The considerable harm to the character and appearance of the locally listed building caused by the proposed rear extension and roof works outweighed the benefits of the supported living accommodation scheme.
