Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the street scene with particular regard to the effect on the locally listed shopfront
What decided it
The loss of the historic and original shopfront and the addition of an incongruous lightwell would detrimentally harm the character and appearance of the street scene and the significance of the locally listed heritage asset, contrary to the development plan with no material considerations to indicate otherwise.
The benefits of residential accommodation and sustainability measures were outweighed by the harm to the character and appearance of the street scene and the locally listed shopfront.
