Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The impact of the proposals upon the character and appearance of the Maldon Conservation Area
the impact of the proposal upon highway safety and the free flow of traffic

What decided it

The positive enhancement to the character and appearance of the Maldon Conservation Area through the creation of windows and removal of the inactive garage door, given great weight under section 72 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990, outweighed the limited potential impact on highway safety and parking.

The improvement offered by the creation of windows and removal of the inactive garage door, which would enhance the Maldon Conservation Area and the streetscene of The Hythe, outweighed the consideration of highway safety and the free flow of traffic through the potential need for parking another vehicle on the street at certain times.
