Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the significance of the Wickwar Conservation Area, the locally listed building (62 High Street), and the general character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The loss of a significant section of historic stone wall in a prominent location within the Conservation Area, which is a positive feature and contributes to the historic character, would cause less-than-substantial harm that is not outweighed by the limited public benefits of the proposal.
The less-than-substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area and the setting of the locally listed building was not outweighed by the public and personal benefits of improved vision splays, on-site parking provision, and accessibility improvements.
