Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host property, with particular regard to its conservation area location
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to outlook
- the effect of the proposal on the viability of the public house
- whether the proposal makes adequate provision for waste and recycling facilities and collection and also cycle storage
What decided it
The less than substantial but considerable harm to the conservation area's significance and the unacceptable harm to neighbouring outlook could not be justified by the moderate benefits of the proposal.
The moderate benefits of improved outdoor space visibility and year-round usability were outweighed by the less than substantial but considerable harm to the conservation area and the unacceptable harm to neighbouring outlook.
