Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect on the character and appearance of the area and the Coningham and Lime Grove Conservation Area

What decided it

The roller shutters cause unacceptable less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area and the locally listed Buildings of Merit, and the business security benefits do not justify this harm or outweigh the great weight required to be given to conservation of the heritage asset.

The less than substantial harm to the Conservation Area and locally listed Buildings of Merit was weighed against the business security benefits and economic growth considerations, with the harm prevailing because no alternative security measures were demonstrated and the appellant did not explain why internal shutters could not be incorporated.
