Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the High Easter Conservation Area, and the significance of the property as a non-designated heritage asset
- The effect on the living conditions of adjoining occupiers
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area and the significance of the non-designated heritage asset, with no public benefits to outweigh that harm.
The less than substantial harm to the Conservation Area and non-designated heritage asset was not outweighed by any public benefits, as the private benefits of additional storage did not constitute public benefits capable of justifying the development.
