Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed shop front and roller shutter on the character and appearance of the host building and area

What decided it

The proposed shop front and roller shutter would unacceptably harm the character and appearance of the host building and area, conflicting with Policies CL1, CL2, CL6 and CL10 of the Local Plan and the Shopfronts SPD.

The support for the business as one of few operating commercially in the row was outweighed by the unacceptable harm to character and appearance.
