- The effect on the character and appearance of the surroundings, including the Conservation Area
- The effect on the living conditions of those living nearby
What decided it
The harm to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area, particularly the Challoner Crescent frontage, was not outweighed by the economic benefits of the hotel development.
The economic benefits of the proposal and efficient use of underutilised land were outweighed by the less than substantial harm to the Conservation Area, given the importance of heritage asset protection nationally and locally.
