Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the works harm the character and appearance of the area, having particular regard to the setting of designated heritage assets
  • Whether the works harm a Site of Nature Conservation Importance (SNCI)

What decided it

The works result in less than substantial harm to the heritage assets with little evidence of public benefit to outweigh this harm, and cause adverse impacts on the Site of Nature Conservation Importance.

The less than substantial harm to the heritage assets and nature conservation interests was not outweighed by any public benefits advanced by the appellant.
