Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the local area
- The effect of the proposed development on highway safety and parking for users of St Stephen's Road
What decided it
The proposed development would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area by introducing a vehicular crossover that would break the continuity of the front boundary wall, contrary to the Conservation Area Appraisal's specific aim to retain strong front boundaries and avoid new crossovers.
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area outweighed the public benefits arising from the scheme, which would largely relate to support for the local economy.
