Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the removal of the wall on the character and appearance of the St Marychurch Conservation Area

What decided it

The removal of the wall causes less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the St Marychurch Conservation Area, which is not outweighed by the extremely limited public benefits of additional parking provision.

The less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the St Marychurch Conservation Area was not outweighed by the extremely limited public benefits of improved parking and emergency vehicle access.
