Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the locally listed buildings, which include the appeal site, and the statutory listed building in the vicinity, bearing in mind the duty to have special regard to the desirability of preserving the listed building or its setting and of preserving or enhancing the character or appearance of Whitstable Conservation Area
What decided it
The very low level of less than substantial harm to the locally listed building and conservation area was outweighed by the public benefit of maintaining the vitality and viability of the town centre business.
