Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effects of the proposed development on designated heritage assets
- The effects of the proposed development on the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring properties in terms of overlooking
What decided it
The proposed development would introduce incongruous and alien features that would be readily visible from the church grounds and would harm the setting of the Grade I listed St Laurence Church and the character of the Ludlow Conservation Area, with insufficient public benefit to overcome this harm.
