Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the Bradmore Conservation Area
What decided it
The visual incongruity and detrimental impact of the bulky metal bike shed on the character and appearance of the Bradmore Conservation Area, which under s.72 must be afforded considerable importance and weight, outweighs the benefits of secure cycle storage.
The benefits of secure cycle storage and cycling promotion weighed in favour of the appellant, but the harm to the conservation area outweighed these benefits in the overall balance.
