Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Acton Town Centre Conservation Area
- whether the proposal would make suitable provision for refuse and cycle storage facilities
What decided it
The proposal would cause less-than-substantial harm to the conservation area with no public benefits to outweigh it, and would fail to provide adequate refuse and cycle storage facilities.
The less-than-substantial harm to the conservation area was weighed against the absence of any public benefits, resulting in dismissal; no balancing exercise favoured the proposal.
