Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Thurgarton Conservation Area
What decided it
The development's solid scale and appearance is an incongruous feature out of context with the street scene and causes less than substantial harm to the Conservation Area that is not outweighed by any public benefits.
The less than substantial harm to the Conservation Area was not outweighed by the private benefits claimed (flood prevention, privacy, security) or modest public benefits (local employment and materials supply)
