Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the proposals would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the East Canonbury Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposals would result in less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area with no public benefits to justify that harm, conflicting with the development plan taken as a whole.
Less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area, with no public benefits identified, weighed against the development plan; the harm was not justified and the balance tipped against the proposals.
