Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area and Sneyd Park Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposal would cause a harmful reduction in the characteristic openness and pattern of development along Seawalls Road in the conservation area, conflicting with local plan policies requiring development to preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the area.
The limited economic benefit from construction was outweighed by the harm to the heritage asset, which although small in scale was a matter of considerable importance and weight
