Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area and the Wood Street Conservation Area
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring residents of 72 High Street
What decided it
The development as built caused material harm to the character and appearance of the area and less than substantial harm to the Wood Street Conservation Area, which was not outweighed by the limited benefit of the additional residential accommodation, while the underlying permissions were found incapable of implementation due to irreconcilable plan inconsistencies.
