Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of Telford Park Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposed development's excessive size, lack of required setbacks from boundaries, and visually harmful metal garage door would cause less than substantial harm to the conservation area's character and appearance that could not be justified by minimal public benefits.
The less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of Telford Park Conservation Area outweighed the minimal public benefits of quality materials, construction and a green roof fostering biodiversity.
